The WikiLeaks Web site has named a number of metals mines and facilities outside of the United States that are key to U.S. interests, as it published the list of sites that have been placed under the National Infrastructure Protection Plan (NIPP) at the behest of the Department of Homeland Security.

Among the metals resources named under the NIPP are a cobalt mine in the Democratic Republic of Congo; chrome, manganese, palladium and platinum from South Africa's Bushveld Complex; and the Orissa and Karnataka chromite mines in India.....
