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 2023 U.S. Geological Survey Minerals Yearbook Volume I - Metals and Minerals. For 2024, 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. 2020 2024 ground condition Complete Annually -180.0000 180.0000 90.0000 -90.0000 USGS Thesaurus metallic mineral resources None molybdenum USGS Metadata Identifier USGS:67980035d34ea8c18376e1ec Common geographic areas United States None.

Data were checked to ensure that they match those published in the Mineral Commodity Summaries 2025. 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 2025 (MCS 2025); additional detailed information is available in the full text version of MCS 2025.
