such as cobalt, graphite, high-purity alumina, tungsten and rare earths and provide key inputs into strategic supply chains. The support for the sector does not stop there. We also in the recent budget announced $57 million for the international partnerships program, aimed at securing strategic and commercial partnerships, and $23 million to extend the operation of the all-important Critical Minerals Office. This is in addition to the government's $1 billion Value-Adding in Resources fund that is part of the $15 billion National Reconstruction Fund, which those opposite failed to support. The National Reconstruction Fund will support the development of our critical minerals, which those opposite used to say they support. In abandoning the space in supporting the National Reconstruction Fund they have also abandoned the critical minerals sector of this country.
