A nation's endowment of nonfuel mineral resources, relative to the
world's endowment, is a fundamental consideration in decisions
related to a nation's economic and environmental well being and
security. Knowledge of the worldwide abundance, distribution, and
general geologic setting of mineral commodities provides a
framework within which a nation can make decisions about economic
development of its own resources, and the economic and
environmental consequences of those decisions, in a global
perspective. The information in this report is part of a U.S.
Geological Survey (USGS) endeavor to evaluate the global endowment
of both identified and undiscovered nonfuel mineral resources. The
results will delineate areas of the world that are geologically
permissive for the occurrence of undiscovered selected nonfuel
mineral resources together with estimates of the quantity and
quality of the resources. The results will be published as a series
of regional reports; this one provides basic data on the identified
resources and geologic setting, together with a brief appraisal of
the potential for undiscovered mineral resources in Africa and the
Middle East. Additional information, such as production statistics,
economic factors that affect the mineral industries of the region,
and historical information, is available in U.S. Geological Survey
publications such as the Minerals Yearbook and the annual Mineral
Commodity Summaries (available at http:
//minerals.usgs.gov/minerals).
