Global Mineral Resources Report 2023

Global Mineral Resources Report 2023

This week the Global Mineral Resources Strategy Research Center of the China Geological Survey released the Global Mineral Resources Reserves Assessment Report 2023. The report provides a comprehensive and objective assessment of the global reserves of 13 mineral resources by the end of 2021.

The report collects data of more than 20,000 mining projects covering 150 countries around the world, and benchmarks and reasonably revises the data of different global reserve systems and the reserve data published by some countries according to uniform standards, and finally obtains reliable and credible global mineral resource reserves assessment data.
