World mineral statistics archive

A selection of world mineral statistics publications. BGS (c) UKRI.

BGS and its predecessor organisations have compiled production and trade statistics on a wide range of mineral commodities since 1913. Information from 1992 onwards is contained in one of the largest and most comprehensive databases in the world; however, the older data has historically been available only on paper. To make this archive of important data more accessible to a wider audience, we have scanned the legacy publications and made them available to download as PDFs.

We would be delighted to hear your general views on the archive. Please send your comments to the minerals team (minerals@bgs.ac.uk).

Please read the standard terms and conditions for the use of this dataset.
