With reference to mineral resources, which of the following statement/s is/are correct?
1. Lithium's inferred resources have been found in Reasi district of Jammu & Kashmir.
2. India is import dependent for many minerals like Lithium, Nickel and Cobalt.
Select the correct answer using the code given below -

Explanation
Both statements are correct. In February 2023, the Geological Survey of India (GSI) established 5.9 million tonnes of inferred resources (G3) of lithium in the Salal-Haimana area of Reasi District, Jammu & Kashmir. This marked the first significant discovery of lithium in the country. Regarding statement 2, India currently faces high import dependency (nearly 100%) for several critical minerals, including Lithium, Nickel, and Cobalt. These minerals are vital for the transition to green energy, particularly for manufacturing rechargeable batteries for electric vehicles (EVs) and energy storage systems. To mitigate this dependency, the Government of India recently identified 30 critical minerals and amended the Mines and Minerals (Development and Regulation) Act to facilitate the auction of these strategic mineral blocks for domestic mining.
