Abstract: Dispersed metals, including germanium（Ge）, gallium（Ga）, indium（In）, thallium（Tl）, rhenium（Re）, cadmium（Cd）, selenium（Se）, tellurium（Te）, although not widely recognized by the general public, are indeed valuable mineral resources in China. The utilization of dispersed metals in conventional industries is relatively restricted, with insignificant quantities involved. Even certain metals are employed at a global scale exceeding ten tons annually, each of these eight metals is critical to strategic emerging and future industries. For instance, gallium exhibits significant applications in liquid metal technologies; germanium and indium are used in the electronics industry; cadmium plays a pivotal role in the military industry; rhenium is used in the aircraft engines; tellurium and selenium are employed in the field of photoelectricity; both selenium and tellurium hold immense potential for advancement within the biomedical domain. The support of new quality productivity is crucial for strategic emerging industries and future industries, which are the key focus areas in international competition. The accelerated formation of new quality productivity forces closely related to dispersed metals is essential for achieving high-quality development, establishing a novel development pattern, and ensuring national economic security. Meanwhile, dispersed metals are also an important part of the security system in the field of mineral resources in China. Therefore, it is of great significance to strengthen the exploration, development, and management of dispersed metals resources to clarify the connection between dispersed metal and new quality productivity. Furthermore, it is crucial to explore strategic concepts for mineral prospecting, expedite the innovative implementation of groundbreaking measures, and foster a deeper societal comprehension of the significance of dispersed metals. These efforts are essential for augmenting investment in geological prospecting, ensuring energy resource security, and enhancing the advancement of new kinetic energy.
