The list of minerals of national importance has been supplemented with relevant minerals of various origins, taking into account modern trends, namely, "Natural Hydrogen", "Gas from dense rock reservoirs", "Cesium" and new sections "NON-COMBUSTIBLE" with the subsection "Gaseous" and "TECHNOGENIC" with subsections:
"Combustible", "Metallic", "Non-metallic" - 12 positions.
Also added are minerals that are recorded in the State Balance of Mineral Reserves of Ukraine on the basis of decisions of the State Commission of Ukraine for Mineral Reserves, the State Commission of the USSR, UkrTKS, VKS, TsKS, NTR, TR, namely:

- «Dolerite";
- «Enderbite»;
- «Microgranodiorite»;
- «Microcline»;
- «Ferruginous quartzites» ;
- «Pyroxenite»;
- «Andesito-dacite»;
- «Gabbro-diorite»;
- «Gabbro-dolerite»;
- «Gabbro-monzonite»;
- «Granite-porphyry»;
- «Pegmatite»;
- «Plagiomigmatite»;
- «Liparito-dacite»;

"Helium" - supplemented by a new norm that regulates the establishment of an associated useful component, in case of extraction together with combustible gaseous minerals without its extraction and industrial use, according to the decision of the State Commission of Ukraine on Mineral Reserves.
