Every dataset here carries a 0–10 score built on documented fields, and the ranking follows those scores. When records tie, coverage breaks it: more geography, deeper history, finer granularity. Cadence isn't a scoring axis — it's a delivery setting. Delivered daily, weekly, or hourly, your call.

Frequently asked questions

Which dataset covers mineral production for every country?

World Mining Data: 65 commodities across 168 producer countries, world and continent totals from 1984, five years of commodity-country detail per edition, plus market-share and HHI concentration rankings computed per commodity. Eurostat narrows the same question to EU NACE section B at four-digit class detail where you need European depth.

Can I see individual mines instead of country totals?

Yes. MSHA registers roughly 92,000 US mines back to 1970 keyed on MINE_ID, the Mining Association of Canada names about 90 producing Canadian mines in its annex, and Geoscience Australia publishes deposit-point layers - 406 features on the copper layer alone - each rolling up to state and national totals.

How far back do US mine safety records go?

Three depths: the mine registry starts January 1, 1970; Part 50 accident, injury and employment files start 1983; violation records start 2000. All three hang off the same MINE_ID, so a single operation's safety biography assembles into one timeline across five decades of inspections.

Where does SK-1300 reserve disclosure data come from?

From SEC filings: SK-1300 reserve reporting sits inside 10-K annual reports and 20-F annual reports filed by foreign private issuers, which is why BHP, Rio Tinto and Vale appear beside Freeport and the US majors. Structured XBRL facts reach back to roughly 2009 across 10,387 ticker-CIK mappings.

Which dataset maps Australian mineral deposits?

Geoscience Australia's minerals collection. The AIMR 2025 assessment states reserves and resources as at 31 December 2024, roughly twenty commodity layers ship as point data, editions archive back to 1983 for trend work, and deposits roll up cleanly to commodity, state and national totals.
