Editor’s Note: This article distills data presented in the U.S. Geological Survey’s Mineral Commodity Surveys 1998. As the annual volume contains a wealth of information on U.S. companies, production, and consumption, this article necessarily omits many details. The statistics reported here cover production and use; recycling; and events, trends, and issues. Prices are reported in their unit of exchange.
