Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO provided information regarding U.S. dependence on South African strategic minerals. GAO found that: (1) the Comprehensive Anti-Apartheid Act of 1986 prohibited U.S. imports of 10 strategic minerals from South Africa, unless there were no other reliable and secure suppliers and the minerals were essential for the U.S. economy or defense; (2) each of those 10 strategic minerals had some direct or indirect military application; (3) in 1987, the United States significantly depended on imports to supply the minerals; and (4) South Africa is a major world producer and contains a very large reserve of several of the strategic minerals. GAO also found that: (1) the United States increased imports of some strategic minerals from South Africa and decreased others between 1983 and 1987; (2) South Africa is the sole supplier to the United States of one of the strategic minerals; (3) alternative supply sources exist for all but two of the minerals; and (4) the cumulative direct economic cost of a U.S. embargo on South Africa for six of the minerals would total $9.25 billion for 1988 through 1992. In addition, GAO found that the Department of State is developing a program which considers substitution, conservation, alternative suppliers, and economic stockpiles and private inventories to reduce U.S. dependence on South African strategic minerals.

Download or read book Critical Mineral Resources of the United States written by K. J. Schulz and published by Geological Survey. This book was released on 2017 with total page 868 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.
