Detailed Description

Figure 1. Supply risk for 54 commodities with sufficient data for quantitative evaluation, for the years 2007–2018.  Warmer (i.e., orange to red) shades indicate a greater degree of supply risk.  As indicated by the dashed horitonal line, 36 commodities with a recency-weighted mean supply risk greater than or equal to 0.40 are included on the list of critical minerals.  Leading producing countries for each commodity are listed.  (Source: Nassar, N.T., and Fortier, S.M., 2021, Methodology and technical input for the 2021 review and revision of the U.S. Critical Minerals List: U.S. Geological Survey Open-File Report 2021–1045, 31 p., https://doi.org/10.3133/ofr20211045.)
