World mineral production 2018-2022

Welcome to the latest edition of World Mineral Production which includes global mineral production data for 2022. It is a continuation of the dataset that began in 1913. This publication is compiled from a comprehensive database, maintained by the British Geological Survey (BGS), through which we aim to provide a reliable and continuous set of data covering most of the minerals that enter international trade. In this volume we set out the production figures by country for more than 70 mineral commodities over the five-year period from 2018 to 2022. The objective of this series remains to present the latest production information obtained from official bodies in individual countries, although other sources are also used to ensure completeness and accuracy. The cooperation afforded to the BGS by numerous organisations is gratefully acknowledged.
