Materials

Who produces the world's minerals — and what kind of place that is.

Production is concentrated. For many critical minerals a single country holds most of world output, so supply is a political fact before it is an industrial one. Each producer here carries its Safety & Security score and any active conflict, so a market share reads as what it is. The material side — ore grade, concentration factor, how much rock moves per tonne of metal — lives on kosmos.
