As the importance and dependence of specific mineral commodities increase, so does concern about their supply. The United States is currently 100 percent reliant on foreign sources for 20 mineral commodities and imports the majority of its supply of more than 50 mineral commodities. Mineral commodities that have important uses and face potential supply disruption are critical to American economic and national security. However, a mineral commodity's importance and the nature of its supply chain can change with time; a mineral commodity that may not have been considered critical 25 years ago may be critical today, and one considered critical today may not be so in the future. The U.S. Geological Survey has produced this volume to describe a select group of mineral commodities currently critical to our economy and security. For each mineral commodity covered, the authors provide a comprehensive look at (1) the commodity's use; (2) the geology and global distribution of the mineral deposit types that account for the present and possible future supply of the commodity; (3) the current status of production, reserves, and resources in the United States and globally; and (4) environmental considerations related to the commodity's production from different types of mineral deposits. The volume describes U.S. critical mineral resources in a global context, for no country can be self-sufficient for all its mineral commodity needs, and the United States will always rely on global mineral commodity supply chains. This volume provides the scientific understanding of critical mineral resources required for informed decisionmaking by those responsible for ensuring that the United States has a secure and sustainable supply of mineral commodities.
Excerpt from Mineral and Water Resources of California, Vol. 1: Mineral Resources Report of the United States Geological Survey in Collaboration With the California Division of Mines and Geology and the United State Bureau of Mines On November 13, 1964, I requested the Secretary of the Interior to determine if a comprehensive summary report on the mineral and water resources of California could be prepared for the use of citizens, professional personnel, and government, civic, and industrial leaders interested in mining, water, and industrial development. This report, prepared in response to my request by members of the U.S. Geological Survey, the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, the U.S. Bureau of Mines, the California Division of Mines and Geology, and the California Department of Water Resources, with the cooperation of other individuals, is a thorough, detailed, and comprehensive work which I am sure will be of great value to all interested in the mineral and water resources of the State of California. I wish to express my thanks and appreciation to Secretary of the Interior Udall and to those in his Department, to the State of California agencies, and to all the individuals who contributed their efforts in compiling this very valuable and comprehensive report.
