    (GMIT, 2025) Enkhjin Enkhtur; 1 st Supervisor: Prof. Ph.D. Enkhzaya Chuluunbaatar; 2 nd Supervisor: Mr. Mendbayar Melscho
    Mongolia is known as a resource-rich country and lacks a structured, proper methodology for identifying and prioritizing critical minerals essential for its long-term economic development and industrial development. With the global green energy transition, the demand for key minerals such as lithium, cobalt, nickel, and rare earth elements is increasing due to their essential role in clean energy technologies. Developed countries are already securing their access to critical minerals, increasing competition in global markets by developing structured methodologies for classifying critical minerals based on economic importance, supply chain risks, and technological relevance. Meanwhile, Mongolia still lacks a systematic approach and risks missing strategic opportunities without a clear national policy to define and manage these minerals. This absence of policy and strategy clarity not only limits economic benefits but also hinders Mongolia’s ability to integrate into international supply chains, attract investment, and maximize the value of its mineral resources. Furthermore, this thesis work’s methodology is literature-based and reviews the methodology, experiences of the countries & their further works related to critical minerals by research and literature. This research addresses this gap by analysing existing approaches and proposing criteria that specifically fit Mongolia’s unique economic conditions, which aligns with the strategy of Mongolia’s development. Key factors such as economic security, industrial diversification, and sustainability are incorporated into the proposed classification criteria
