Description:

Mineral Statistics and Commodity Information Information on domestic and international supplies and uses of mineral commodities essential to the U.S. economy and to national security Learn More Critical Mineral Resources Research and assessment activities for current information on the nation and world's critical mineral resources Learn More Assessments of Undiscovered Mineral Resources Our scientists study existing mineral deposits in order to understand where potential deposits may occur Learn More Regional Studies and Mineral Resources Geologic, geophysical, and geochemical studies evaluate mineral endowment in selected regions of the United States. Learn More Mineral System Life Cycles Studies to promote sustainable development and responsible stewardship of our natural resources Learn More The USGS Mineral Resources Program (MRP) delivers unbiased science and information to increase understanding of ore formation, undiscovered mineral resource potential, production, consumption, and how minerals interact with the environment.  MRP supports data collection and research on a wide variety of non-fuel mineral resources that are important to the Nation’s economic and national security.Mineral Statistics and Commodity InformationStatistics and information on minerals and materials essential to the U.S. economy, the national security, and the flow of materials through production, supply chains, recycling and sustainability.Minerals InformationMineral Resources Online Spatial DataInteractive maps and downloadable data for regional and global geology, geochemistry, geophysics, and mineral resources.USMIN Mineral Deposit DatabaseFind DataScience PrioritiesWe study geologic processes that concentrate known mineral resources at specific localities in the Earth s crust, and assess quantities, qualities, and areas of undiscovered mineral resources, or potential future supply.Minerals Information and Material FlowCharacterization and Identification of Critical Mineral ResourcesMineral Resource AssessmentsMineral System Life CyclesRegional Studies and Mineral ResourcesLabs and DataEarth Mapping Resources Initiative (Earth MRI)Discover Our Science Editor: In the public interest and in accordance with FAA regulations, the USGS is announcing this low-level airborne project. Your assistance in informing the local communities is appreciated. Just as alloys make steel stronger, research allies make mineral science better. Geoscience Australia, the Geological Survey of Canada, and the USGS are coordinating their critical mineral mapping and research efforts to create a shared foundation of mineral information to help ensure a safe and secure supply of the materials needed for each country’s economy and security.  Bring out your inner geologist and take the Geologist Tongue Twister Audio or Video challenge! First, do an audio or video recording of you reading the Tongue Twister. Second, feature a rock or mineral from your rock collection or go outside and find yourself a rock; they are everywhere!  Be sure to hashtag your video #earthscienceweek and #... Year Published: 2020 Focus areas for data acquisition for potential domestic resources of 11 critical minerals in the conterminous United States, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico—Aluminum, cobalt, graphite, lithium, niobium, platinum-group elements, rare earth elements, tantalum, tin, titanium, and tungsten In response to a need for information on potential domestic sources of critical minerals, the Earth Mapping Resources Initiative (Earth MRI) was established to identify and prioritize areas for acquisition of new geologic mapping, geophysical data, and elevation data to improve our knowledge of the geologic framework of the United States. Phase 1...

Year Published: 2020 Mineral resource database for deposits related to the Mesoproterozoic Midcontinent Rift System, United States and Canada The Midcontinent Rift System (MRS) of North America is one of the world’s largest continental rifts and has an age of 1.1 Ga (giga-annum). The MRS hosts a diverse suite of magmatic and hydrothermal mineral deposits in the Lake Superior region where rift rocks are exposed at or near the surface. As part of the construction of a database summarizing... Woodruff, Laurel G.; Schulz, Klaus J.; Dicken, Connie L.; Nicholson, Suzanne W.
