There are claims extracting our own minerals can build the country's resilience from geopolitical vulnerabilities.

Resources Minister Shane Jones's launching a draft strategy for the mineral sector today and will be announced in the West Coast's coal-mining district.

He says it'll highlight critical and rare earth minerals, such as titanium and antinomy.

Jones told Mike Hosking that with the rising geopolitical tensions we need to be able to rely on our own resources.

He says unless we use them, we will continue to depend on other countries' natural resources, which aren't as stable as New Zealand's.
