Sourcing claims deserve the same rigor as pricing. USGS Mineral Commodity Summaries tabulates world mine production and reserves by country - roughly 175 countries over a rolling five-year window per edition - released as a public-domain 8,886-row tidy CSV alongside the 226-page 2026 book. It scores 10 in the Datadory slice, the highest quality rating in this industry. BGS MineralsUK extends annual country-commodity-year records from 1970 to 2022 through a free OGCAPI-Features API, the longest consistent cross-country series available.
Origin storytelling is a legitimate use too. USGS MRDS is a public-domain point database of 304,632 mineral sites, gold appearing in roughly 70,000 records, downloadable as CSV, Shapefile, GeoJSON or WFS - enough to map deposit geography on educational product and collection pages.

Investment-flow context is quotable too. World Gold Council Goldhub surveys official gold reserves annually since 2018 and reports monthly ETF holdings and flows, complemented by BullionStar's central bank reserve pages - useful background when a customer asks why bullion demand moves independently of jewelry fashion cycles.

What is the best API for live gold and silver prices in JSON?

How do I get historical gold prices back to 1970 for free?
BullionStar publishes a machine-readable JSON MAX series spanning 1970-01-01 to present, roughly 687 points per metal-currency pair. The Perth Mint offers daily CSV archives from 1968 with gold rows populated from 2 January 1975, and Goldhub carries price averages in many currencies from 1978 onward.
