Abstract

[Extract] China is a large country with approximately 9.6 million square kilometers of land area that is rich in mineral resources. It is the major producer of many metals. For the 40 metals (rare earth elements and platinum group elements [REE and PGE] counted as one each) regularly reported in the USGS Mineral Commodity Summaries with production and some reserves data, China was in the top four global producers for 32 in 2018 (Table 1, summarized from U.S. Geological Survey, 2019).
