The sector has the potential to "create 13-15 million jobs through direct and indirect contribution by 2015", he added.
The paper, which has been prepared taking into account the vision emanating from the National Mineral Policy, 2008, has identified six key priority areas to achieve the potential including enhancing resource and reserve base, reducing permit delays and putting in place core enablers like infrastructure.
"In this regard, action as per the 12th Five Year Plan has been initiated by the government," Patel said.
He said the extraction and management of minerals had to be integrated into the overall strategy of the country's economic development.
