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.

Download or read book The World s Minerals Classic Reprint written by Leonard J. Spencer and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-21 with total page 424 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The World's Minerals The text of this book on minerals is in the main descriptive of the 116 species of the more common simple minerals, which are illustrated by 163 figures on the colored plates. Descriptions of a few other important species have been added. Technical terms are explained in the preliminary chapters; their use, however, has been avoided as far as possible, and an attempt has been made to present in popular language an interesting and readable account of the several kinds of minerals. Points of general interest are touched upon, and attention is drawn to such of the more prominent characters as will help the student and collector of minerals to identify his own specimens. Mention is also made of the various practical applications of minerals, their importance as ores of the metals, as precious stones, etc. The forty colored-plates have been prepared under the supervision of Dr Hans Lenk, Professor of Mineralogy and Geology in the University of Erlangen, and many of the pictures represent actual specimens belonging to the mineral collection under his charge. A correct idea of minerals cannot, however, be conveyed by pictures and descriptions alone. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
