Metallurgical coal - nothing special about it Australian East coast full of it.
Thermal coal is for power generation. Again nothing special about it and abundant again in NSW Hunter Valley and QLD Bowen Basin for example for which I confess to have previously worked on many sites.

Niobium is fastest growing steel additive in furnaces when producing steel to produce lighter - higher strength - corrosion resistant steel. Brazils CBMM supplies over 80% of global niobium which used in defence applications - Aerospace applications sees it listed in top 5 critical minerals.

Magnetite iron ore is the higher quality iron ore shipped from Pilbara where again I have worked. Haematite iron ore is lower quality - less used but is blended with magnetite ore for lesser requirements of certain metals.

Carbon = Graphite.

India still uses much coal. Adani invested hundreds of millions developing their mine in Queensland after many years of opposition and hurdles. Only began production last year.

Australia can only offer tech to India in speciality minerals along with allowing investment in Australian companies where as China has been literally blocked. That is where Australian companies will benefit - many potential mines may in the future now find funding to develop and some established like say Lynas could find a large Indian investor on their books. Although unlikely for Lynas just an example.
