PREFACE
I am writing this preface at a time of transition with respect to the
provision of mineral statistics by the BGS. Funding by the DTI for
mineral statistics ends on 31 March 2004. The BGS expresses its
gratitude to the DTI for the support this work has received since
1973. We are now seeking to provide a new range of mineral
statistics services through a range of media including the
Worldwide Web. The BGS will continue to publish world mineral
production figures and will increasingly move towards offering a
range of commodity market commentaries and analyses focusing
on key issues of the moment. Nevertheless, I could not allow the
publication of the final World Mineral Statistics book to go by
without some historical reflections
I look forward to your continued interest and support as our
mineral statistics services evolve in the years ahead.

During the ninety years that these statistical compilations cover,
they have recorded in figures all the major changes in the world of
minerals during that time. These have included the rise and fall of
African copper, the extraordinary – and ultimately wasteful –
efforts of the Soviet empire to achieve self-sufficiency, the
burgeoning growth of iron ore output from Australia, Brazil and
elsewhere, the decline in South Africa’s domination of gold and of
Canada’s pre-eminence in nickel, the inexorable fall in western
Europe’s coal output as the vast resources of the USA, Canada,
Colombia, South Africa and Australia opened up, and most
recently the astonishing growth in the economy of China with all
its implications for the world minerals industry. As well as
geographic changes, the sheer scale of the increase in total output
of most minerals in the past ninety years is impressive: in 1913
the world production of natural petroleum was a little over fifty
million tonnes (with less than one per cent coming from the
Middle East), and now it is more than three thousand million
tonnes. The world’s total production of copper in 1913 was
scarcely more than the output from today’s largest mine alone –
which supplies six per cent of total world demand - and china clay
production, most of it from the UK, was one million tonnes
whereas today it is more than twenty-one million tonnes.
When the book was re-launched as World Mineral Statistics in
1977 my predecessor wrote in the preface that its object was ‘to
present as comprehensively and accurately as possible factual data
about the world mineral industry’s activities, which are a measure
of the unceasing contribution of the geological sciences to man’s
material welfare and progress’. This aim will remain at the
forefront of our endeavours. The volume European Mineral
Statistics will continue to be produced, with the support of the
Office of the Deputy Prime Minister (ODPM), and we shall
continue to compile world production statistics. As well as the
printed books, much statistical information is also available as
downloads on the web site www.mineralsUK.com.
Trade information for the latest year covered by this volume is
necessarily incomplete since the tables are prepared before many
countries have produced their annual trade statistics. Trade data
for some major trading countries are reconstructed by searching
the official publications of their trading partners. Such
reconstructed figures are shown as estimates in the tables.
In each successive volume account has been taken of revisions
and information received after the publication of the previous
issue, thus data for every year are as up to date as is practicable.
The objective remains to present the latest complete production
information obtained from official bodies in individual countries.
Trade data have been obtained both from national statistical
offices and from compilations made by other organisations. The
co-operation afforded to the British Geological Survey by
numerous national and international organisations is gratefully
acknowledged.

World Mineral Statistics covers the majority of economically
important, and internationally traded, mineral commodities. For
each commodity constant efforts are made to ensure that as many
producing and trading countries as possible are reported and that
trade data cover all major traded forms. For some commodities,
where statistics on production and trade are not publicly
available, estimates are made. Users of this compilation are
advised that more statistical information than can be included in a
publication of this nature is held in the British Geological Survey
files and is available for consultation. Historical data (1913-1970)
can be obtained from the predecessor to this series entitled the
Statistical Summary of the Mineral Industry.
Arrangement of countries
Countries are ordered alphabetically in geographical groupings as
follows:
Europe
Africa
North and Central America, including the Caribbean
South America
Asia
Australasia, including the Pacific Islands
So far as possible the nomenclature follows the London
Diplomatic List.
Production
Metals Mine production of many metals is expressed in terms of
metal content. This is clearly indicated at the head of the table,
adjacent to the unit used. For aluminium, cobalt, copper, iron,
lead, nickel, tin and zinc, mine production and metal production
are shown in separate tables. Unless otherwise specified, metal
production statistics relate to metal recovered from both domestic
or imported materials, whether primary or secondary, but exclude
remelted material.
Trade
South Africa Some export data are taken from returns furnished
by producers to the Department of Mineral and Energy Affairs,
and may be shipments rather than actual exports.
Estimates for other South Africa exports, based on reconstruction
from importing countries, may include material originating in any
of the countries of the common customs area and so involve
some double counting on tables where these are listed separately.
USA US trade statistics show trade between the US customs
territory and foreign countries, but exclude trade between the US
and Puerto Rico, and between the US and Guam, American
Samoa and other US possessions. Also excluded is trade between
any of these outlying areas, shipments from US possessions to
foreign countries, and shipments for the use of the US
Government in foreign countries.
General Although every effort has been made to provide
comprehensive coverage of trade statistics the resulting trade
compilations depend on the nature of the data available. The fact
that a country is not shown as trading in a particular commodity
does not necessarily imply that there is no trade in that item. The
commodity may not be separately identified in the available trade
statistics or may not be traded in significant quantities.
Where an estimate for a trade statistic has been reconstructed
from the imports/exports of other countries, the resulting figure
may be conservative, as complete coverage of world trade is
seldom available.
Export statistics may include re-exports.
Tables showing trade in the following metals covered by
Harmonised System Chapter 81 include under the term ‘metal’,
unwrought and wrought forms, powder, alloys, waste and scrap,
unless these are separately shown: antimony, bismuth, cadmium,
chromium, cobalt, manganese, molybdenum, tantalum–niobium,
titanium, tungsten, vanadium and zirconium. Trade tables of
other metals include only unwrought forms under the term
‘metal’.
Exclusion of Warranty
Use by recipients of information provided by the BGS, is at the
recipients' own risk. BGS has taken care to ensure that
information provided is as free from error as is reasonably
practical. In view of the disparate sources of information at
BGS's disposal, including such material donated to BGS, that
BGS accepts in good faith as being accurate, the Natural
Environment Research Council (NERC) gives no warranty,
expressed or implied, as to the quality, accuracy, performance,
and merchantability of the information supplied, or to the
information's suitability for any use whether made known to BGS
or otherwise. NERC/BGS accepts no liability whatever in respect
of loss, damage, injury or other occurrence however caused.
Supplementary information is also obtained from publications
dealing with a wider range of commodities such as Société de
l'Industrie Minérale, Annuaire Statistique Mondial des Minerais
et Métaux; Mining Journal, Mining Annual Review; World
Bureau of Metal Statistics, World Metal Statistics; World Bureau
of Metal Statistics, UBS Warburg and Enron Metals Limited,
Metallstatistik; publications of the Interstate Statistical
Committee of the CIS, the United States Geological Survey, and
the United Nations Statistics Division and UN agencies.
Units
The Statistics shown in this volume are expressed in metric units.
The following factors are given for converting to non-metric
units:
tonnes × 0.9842 = long tons
tonnes × 1.1023 = short tons
kilograms × 2.2046 = pounds
kilograms × 32.1507 = troy ounces
cubic metres × 35.3147 = cubic feet
1 tonne of crude petroleum equals on average 7 barrels of crude
petroleum.
1 flask mercury = 34.5 kilograms
1 metric ton unit = 10 kilograms
Conversion of national currencies to pounds sterling has been
made using the annual average factors shown for each country in
International Financial Statistics published by the International
Monetary Fund.

Acknowledgements
Compilation of this volume of mineral statistics has been possible
only by obtaining information from a very large number of
organisations throughout the world, chiefly home and overseas
government departments and specialist national or international
authorities concerned with particular sectors of the minerals or
metals industries. To all these bodies the British Geological
Survey expresses its grateful acknowledgement for the
information made available, whether in published form or
provided by direct correspondence.
Particular acknowledgement is made to the Mines Departments
and other government agencies of many countries whose regular
statements, yearbooks and other reports are worthy of direct
consultations by readers in search of detail.
Specialist commodity organisations which have kindly allowed
information to be reproduced include the International Copper
Study Group, the International Lead and Zinc Study Group, the
International Nickel Study Group and the International Fertilizer
Industry Association Ltd. In a few instances, information on
specific commodities has been obtained directly from company
sources. The co-operation of other members of the International
Consultative Group on Non-Ferrous Metal Statistics is also
gratefully acknowledged.

Note(s):
(1) Bentonites consist of montmorillonite (one of the smectite group of clay minerals) and occur in two main varieties, calcium bentonite,
the most commonly occurring, and sodium bentonite, industrially the more important
(2) Calcium bentonite can be converted to sodium bentonite by a sodium-exchange process
(3) In some countries, such as the United Kingdom, calcium bentonite is known as fuller's earth, a term which is also used to refer
attapulgite, a mineralogically distinct clay mineral but exhibiting similar properties
(4) In addition to the countries listed, Austria, Tanzania, Turkmenistan and Zimbabwe are believed to produce bentonite. France and Iran
may produce fuller's earth

Note(s):
(1) Niobium and tantalum minerals are believed to be produced in Democratic Republic of the Congo, French Guiana, Ivory Coast, Russia
and Zambia. Minor quantities are produced in Bolivia.
(2) The figures in this table refer to gross tonnage of tantalum and niobium concentrates
(3) Niobium and tantalum are also recovered from tin slags. This source is particularly important in the case of tantalum and in recent
years is believed to have accounted for over 60% of all tantalum recovered
(4) No detailed information on the production of tantalum bearing tin slags is available but the major producer is Thailand and small
amounts from Australia, Brazil, Nigeria, Portugal, and D R Congo
(a) Years ended 7 July of that stated
(b) Data for Minas Gerais only
