World mineral statistics archive
Welcome to the World Mineral Statistics electronic archive from the British Geological Survey (BGS).
The BGS, and its predecessor organisations, have compiled production and trade statistics on a wide range of mineral commodities since 1913. From 1992 the information 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. As part of an ongoing process to make this archive of important data more accessible to a wider audience, the BGS has scanned and converted to ‘e–books’ the following selection of publications from the World Mineral Statistics series. For each edition the user is able to select whether they open the publication as an e-book or download it as a pdf.
Please let us know what you think. We would be delighted to hear your views on this latest innovation. Do you prefer to look at the publication in e–book format or as a pdf? Do you find the e–book format easy to use? Please send us your comments to the minerals team.
