What this tracker watches
The source register shows what has been cited. This page shows what is under review — the official pages and feeds the project has undertaken to check, at a stated interval, for each jurisdiction it publishes events for. Publishing the input side is what makes the absence of a record legible: a gap here is a gap in coverage, not evidence that nothing happened.
What this page does and does not claim
- Watching a source is a statement about the project's review routine. It asserts nothing about that source's contents, and no measure is implied to exist or not exist because a page appears here.
- Cadence is the interval the project commits to reviewing at — not an observed publication frequency of the source.
- Prospective monitoring has not started. Every record currently in the database was added retrospectively, so no timeliness or lag statistic is computed anywhere on this site — there is no monitoring start date to compute one against. The review dates below are empty for the same reason, and are left empty rather than backfilled.
- Sources are added here when they are the authoritative publication venue for a jurisdiction's measures. Reachability is confirmed at the time of addition; that is recorded in each entry's note, and is not a claim of continued availability.

Export-control catalogue and announcements (清单目录)
In rotationMOFCOM Bureau of Industry Security and Import/Export Control商务部产业安全与进出口管制局
Watched for: Rare earth elements (grouped), Dysprosium, Terbium, Gallium, Germanium, Graphite, Antimony, Tungsten, Rare-earth permanent magnets (NdFeB)
Publishes the numbered MOFCOM/GACC export-control announcements. Already the origin of Announcements No. 23 (2023) and No. 39 (2023) in the source register. Reachability confirmed 2026-08-11 during watchlist setup; no published review cycle has run yet.
Policy releases (政策发布)
In rotationMinistry of Commerce (China)中华人民共和国商务部
Watched for: Rare earth elements (grouped), Dysprosium, Terbium, Gallium, Germanium, Graphite, Antimony, Tungsten, Rare-earth permanent magnets (NdFeB)
The main MOFCOM policy-release channel; origin of Announcements No. 18 (2025), No. 10 (2025), No. 33 (2024) and No. 70 (2025). Reachability confirmed 2026-08-11 during watchlist setup.
United States (2)
Federal Register — Interior Department documents
In rotationU.S. Department of the Interior / USGS
Watched for: Rare earth elements (grouped), Dysprosium, Terbium, Neodymium, Praseodymium, Gallium, Germanium, Graphite, Antimony, Tungsten
Authoritative channel for critical-minerals list designations; origin of FR Doc. 2025-19813. Reachability confirmed 2026-08-11 during watchlist setup.
Office of Strategic Capital — news and announcements
In rotationU.S. Department of War, Office of Strategic Capital
Watched for: Rare earth elements (grouped), Dysprosium, Terbium, Neodymium, Praseodymium, Rare-earth permanent magnets (NdFeB)
Watches US industrial-policy instruments (loans, equity, offtake and price-floor agreements). Listed the OSC release confirming the July 2025 DoD/MP Materials agreement. Uses cto.mil rather than war.gov because war.gov returns 403 to automated clients. Reachability confirmed 2026-08-11 during watchlist setup.
European Union (1)
Critical Raw Materials Act — implementation pages
In rotationEuropean Commission, DG GROW
Watched for: Rare earth elements (grouped), Dysprosium, Terbium, Neodymium, Praseodymium, Gallium, Germanium, Graphite, Antimony, Tungsten, Rare-earth permanent magnets (NdFeB)
Tracks CRMA implementation: strategic-project designations, benchmark reporting and delegated acts. Already in the source register as src-ec-crma. Reachability confirmed 2026-08-11 during watchlist setup.
Australia (1)
Critical Minerals Strategic Reserve
In rotationAustralian Government, Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet
Watched for: Rare earth elements (grouped), Dysprosium, Terbium, Neodymium, Praseodymium
Standing policy page for the Strategic Reserve, updated as the instrument develops. Already in the source register as src-au-pmc-cmsr and verified live by the repository link checker; the host returns 403 to some automated clients.
Japan (1)
JOGMEC news releases (English)
In rotationJapan Organization for Metals and Energy Security (JOGMEC)エネルギー・金属鉱物資源機構
Watched for: Rare earth elements (grouped), Dysprosium, Terbium, Neodymium, Praseodymium
Japan's equity, offtake and stockpiling instruments; origin of the 2023 JOGMEC/JARE–Lynas investment record. Reachability confirmed 2026-08-11 during watchlist setup.
Canada (1)
Natural Resources Canada news releases (Atom feed)
In rotationNatural Resources CanadaRessources naturelles Canada
Watched for: Rare earth elements (grouped), Dysprosium, Terbium, Neodymium, Praseodymium, Graphite
Machine-readable Atom feed listed on Natural Resources Canada's own RSS page (natural-resources.canada.ca/corporate/rss-feeds). Verified 2026-08-11: returns 50 entries including critical-minerals items. Chosen over the ISED news listing, which times out from the maintainer's network. Caveat: NRCan covers the Critical Minerals Strategy and funding, not Investment Canada Act divestiture orders — the instrument behind the existing Canadian record — so ISED remains an unwatched gap.
United Kingdom (1)
UK Critical Minerals Strategy (publication page)
In rotationDepartment for Business and Trade
Watched for: Rare earth elements (grouped), Gallium, Germanium, Graphite, Antimony, Tungsten
The live strategy's own publication page, which carries a "last updated" date and lists the technical annex — the surface on which a revision or withdrawal appears first. That is not hypothetical: it is exactly how the 2022 strategy's withdrawal was recorded, and reading it is what established the supersession coded on evt-uk-cms-2022. Quarterly rather than monthly because a strategy page changes on the order of years.
India (1)
National Critical Mineral Mission
In rotationMinistry of Mines, Government of India
Watched for: Rare earth elements (grouped), Graphite, Antimony, Tungsten
The Ministry of Mines' own standing page for the Mission. Watched rather than cited: the event record rests on the PIB release (src-pib-ncmm-2025), and this page has not yet been read in full, so it carries no evidentiary weight here. It is the expected surface for the critical-minerals list and the stockpile design the PIB release does not enumerate — the two gaps flagged on that record.
Documents actually cited by a published record live in the source register. How records move from a watched source to a published event is set out on the methodology page.
