Published on an annual basis, the USGS Mineral Commodity Summaries report is the earliest Government publication to furnish estimates covering nonfuel mineral industry data. Data sheets contain information on the domestic industry structure, Government programs, tariffs, and 5-year salient statistics for over 90 individual minerals and materials. Where possible, data are those finalized for publication in the 2020 U.S. Geological Survey Minerals Yearbook Volume I - Metals and Minerals. For 2021, USGS National Minerals Information Center provided estimates based on available data from USGS surveys of the industry, other industry sources, and mineral commodity specialist research. 2017 2021 ground condition Complete Annually -180.0000 180.0000 90.0000 -90.0000 USGS Thesaurus metallic mineral resources mercury USGS Metadata Identifier USGS:61ead34fd34e8b818ad9f3d7 Common geographic areas United States None.

Reston VA 20192 US 703-648-4954 ksheaffer@usgs.gov National Minerals Infomation Center 2022 application/service Provides information and links to all available USGS National Minerals Information Center publications about MERCURY by publication type and year. https://www.usgs.gov/centers/nmic/mercury-statistics-and-information Where possible, data for all years except 2021 have been finalized for publication in the U.S. Geological Survey Minerals Yearbook Volume I - Metals and Minerals; otherwise the data are noted as estimated. Data were checked to ensure that they match those published in the Mineral Commodity Summaries 2022. Data were peer reviewed by Mineral Commodity Specialists and approved by supervisors in compliance with USGS fundamental science practices. This data release contains tabular data found in the associated publication Mineral Commodity Summaries 2022 (MCS 2022); additional detailed information is available in the full text version of MCS 2022.
