Mineral Resources Program

The Mineral Resources Program is a government initiative that studies and tracks the availability, production, and use of mineral resources like metals, minerals, and energy materials across the U.S. It provides essential data to help policymakers, industry, and the public understand mineral supplies, how they are extracted, and their economic importance. The program also assesses potential resource deposits, ensures sustainable management, and supports responsible resource development. Its goal is to promote informed decisions for economic growth, national security, and environmental stewardship related to mineral resources.
