Mineral Resources

FindTheBest’s Mineral Resources App makes for quick reference of more than 300,000 mineral mines around the world as reported by the US Geological Survey. FindTheBest’s interface provides both easy, interactive customization of data, and access to the details of mines around the world. The category headings to the right—Site Name, State or Province, County, Country, Region, Deposit Type, Production Size, Operation type, Commodity Type, Primary Commodities, Secondary Commodities, Tertiary Commodities, Ore Minerals or Materials—let you quickly sort the data how you want. For example, click the Primary Commodities heading to group the listings by their primary production goals such as gold, iron, or copper.

The filters below—Country, State/Province, County, Deposit Type, Primary Commodities, Commodity Type, Operation type—give you the tools to specify which listings you actually want to see. Say you were only interested in Offshore operations and only in California. Typing California into the State/Province search bar and selecting Offshore from the Operation Type options will limit the listings to only those ten that meet those criteria. You can then again use the category headings to continue sorting the remaining listings. When you want to see all the listings again, click the Reset button in the top right of the Filter Results Area.

If the information provided in the table does not meet all your needs, try clicking the individual listings' hyperlinked Site Names. This will take you to a detailed page dedicated to that listing with all sorts of information, including an interactive Google Map that shows the precise location of the mine. If two or more mines in particular interest you, select each of them by clicking the check-box to the left of each listing and then hit the Compare button. Right away you will see all the available details of your chosen listings arranged side-by-side for easy comparison.

FindTheBest’s Mineral Resources App will give you a new appreciation of the importance of rocks in today’s society. The interactive filters and categories will give the industry professional and the quizzical searcher alike, a quick way to find mines anywhere and everywhere.

Find and compare more than 300,000 mineral resource mines throughout the world. Sort by many criteria including primary commodity, country and operation type.
