Redaktionelle Zusammenstellung

The graph itself — which minerals carry which metals, which mines and plants exist and who operates them, which companies and end markets sit downstream, and how the stages connect — is compiled by this site from public company reporting, government datasets and standard reference works. It is the part most likely to age, and the part we most want corrections on.
