Straight answers about U.S. Geological Survey, National Minerals Information Center data
How much USGS National Minerals Information Center data does Datadory deliver?
One dataset carries this source in our catalog: Mineral Commodity Summaries, filed under Precious Metals & Minerals and scoring 10 out of 10 on quality - a mark only 145 of 1,744 cataloged datasets reach. Each edition covers 90+ mineral commodities in two-page chapters, flattened into an 8,886-row tidy table.
What does a single Mineral Commodity Summaries record contain?
One value per commodity, statistic, country and year: the chapter and section it came from, the normalized commodity name, the statistic family with an optional finer breakdown, unit, year, numeric value, verbatim footnotes and a boolean flag against the 2025 US critical minerals list.
Which metals get dedicated chapters in the source?
Gold, silver and the platinum-group metals each carry their own two-page chapter inside a list spanning more than 90 commodities - so precious-metals questions answer alone, then benchmark against the whole mineral economy without changing sources. The current book prints US gold mine production at 160 tons.
How far back do the statistics run?
Each edition holds a five-year rolling window - 2021 through 2025 currently - and prior editions stay archived back to the 1990s. Stitched, they rebuild multi-decade series; Datadory delivers the stitched result keyed consistently, so old and new years concatenate without remapping columns.
