Paid access

We have one of the largest databases in the world on the production and trade of minerals. Information is compiled from a wide range of sources:

  • home and overseas government departments
  • national statistical offices
  • specialist commodity authorities
  • company reports
  • a network of contacts throughout the world

The database compilers aim for integrity and accuracy and, for quality control of data, participate in international specialist groups and maintain close links with other mineral statistics providers in Europe and North America.

Publications

The data is published each year in three annual publications.
