Additional Details

Description: The United States is one of the world’s largest users of mineral resources. We use minerals to build our homes and cities, fertilize our food crops, and create wealth that allows us to buy goods and services. Individuals rarely use nonfuel mineral resources in their natural state — we buy light bulbs, not the silica used to create the glass bulb; we buy cell phones, not the rare earth elements used in tiny magnets for speakers and vibration; we buy cars, not the steel used to build the chassis.

The USGS Mineral Resources Program (MRP) delivers unbiased science and information to increase understanding of mineral resource potential, production, and consumption, and how mineral resources interact with the environment. The MRP is the Federal Government’s sole source for this mineral resource science and information.
