Description:

Abstract:

This data set includes the value of mineral production by state in the United States in thousands of U.S. dollars. The data represent commodities covered by the National Minerals Information Center of the U.S. Geological Survey. This data set includes years going back to 1990 and going through 2011; estimated data for 2012 and 2013 are available in the Mineral Commodity Summaries but are not included here because they are not considered final.

Purpose:

The value of mineral production by state is available for any given year in the U.S. Geological Survey Minerals Yearbooks. this data set provides a time series in tabular format for all the States. It also provides the State FIPS codes for easy joining to spatial data sets using Geographic Information Systems software. FIPS codes are not present in the original tables.

Supplemental_Information:

Additional mineral and metal production and consumption statistics can be obtained from the U.S. Geological Survey National Minerals Information Center web page at: http://minerals.usgs.gov/minerals/

Data_Quality_Information:

Attribute_Accuracy:

Attribute_Accuracy_Report:

The values in the data set match those published in the "Statistical Summary" chapter of the U.S. Geological Survey Minerals Yearbook. Information on how the data were obtained and reviewed can be found in the "Survey Methods for Nonfuel Minerals" chapter of the yearbook. It can be found online at: http://minerals.usgs.gov/minerals/pubs/commodity/survey_methods/

Logical_Consistency_Report:

For each year, State values were added together using spreadsheet software and the resulting value was compared to the total published in the original table.This was particularly useful for those earlier years for which it was necessary to scan paper copies and use Optical Character Recognition software to transfer values to the spreadsheet.

Completeness_Report:

This data set includes only U.S. value of nonfuel mineral production for operations covered by the National Minerals Information Center of the U.S. Geological Survey in the year for which data was reported. Energy minerals are excluded. Additional data tables are available in the U.S. Geological Survey Minerals yearbooks that give more detail regarding mineral production and consumption in each of the States. The most recent finalized data are available by commodity in the individual commodity chapters of Volume I, published individually by commodity (the Statistical Summary is published after all commodities are complete). Mineral commodity Summaries contain the most recent estimated data through 2013, not included in this data set.
