These data complement the report by Schulz and others (2017) which provides national and global information on 23 critical minerals - antimony (Sb), barite (barium, Ba), beryllium (Be), cobalt\n(Co), fluorite or fluorspar (fluorine, F), gallium (Ga), germanium (Ge), graphite (carbon, C), hafnium (Hf), indium (In), lithium (Li), manganese (Mn), niobium (Nb), platinum-group elements (PGE), rare-earth elements (REE), rhenium (Re), selenium\n(Se), tantalum (Ta), tellurium (Te), tin (Sn), titanium (Ti), vanadium (V), and zirconium (Zr) resources. The geospatial locations for deposits containing selenium, which is recovered mainly as a byproduct of other produced mineral commodities, is\nnot included in this geodatabase. These geospatial data and the accompanying report are an update to information published in 1973 in U.S. Geological Survey Professional Paper 820, United States Mineral Resources. For the current and full discussion\nof the individual critical minerals, their uses, identified resources, national and global distribution, geologic overview, resource assessment, and geoenvironmental considerations see: Schulz, K.J., DeYoung, J.H., Jr., Seal, R.R., II, and Bradley,\nD.C., eds., 2017, Critical mineral resources of the United States\u2014Economic and environmental geology and prospects for future supply: U.S. Geological Survey Professional Paper 1802, 777 p., https://doi.org/10.3133/pp1802", "distribution": [{"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "accessURL": "https://doi.org/10.5066/F7GH9GQR", "description": "Landing page for access to the data", "format": "XML", "mediaType": "application/http", "title": "Digital Data"}, {"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "description": "The metadata original format", "downloadURL": "https://data.usgs.gov/datacatalog/metadata/USGS.594d3c8ee4b062508e39b332.xml", "format": "XML", "mediaType": "text/xml", "title": "Original Metadata"}], "identifier": "http://datainventory.doi.gov/id/dataset/USGS_594d3c8ee4b062508e39b332", "keyword": ["Asia", "China", "Korea, Republic of", "USGS:594d3c8ee4b062508e39b332", "antimony", "barium", "beryllium", "cobalt", "critical mineral resource", "deposit type", "economic geology", "fLD10 = North America", "fLD20 = Central America", "fLD30 = South America", "fLD40 = Europe", "fLD50 = Africa", "fLD60 = Australia and New Zealand", "fLD80 = Asia Minor and Middle East", "fLD90 = Southeast Asia", "fluorine", "gallium", "geoenvironmental model", "geoscientificInformation", "geospatial datasets", "hafnium", "lithium", "manganese", "mine sites", "mineral commodity", "mineral deposits", "mineral occurrence", "mineral resources", "mining", "niobium", "nonfuel mineral resources", "platinum-group elements", "rare-earth elements", "reserves", "resource", "rhenium", "selenium", "tantalum", "tellurium", "tin", "titanium", "vanadium", "web map services", "zirconium"], "modified": "2020-09-29T00:00:00Z", "publisher": {"@type": "org:Organization", "name": "U.S. Geological Survey"}, "spatial": "-178.726667, -42.4213472224, 177.85072, 83.0799999999", "theme": ["geospatial"], "title": "Global Distribution of Selected Mines, Deposits, and Districts of Critical Minerals"}
