 "statement": "Mineral EXPORT figures (value and, where given, volume) by country and commodity — distinct from production. Every figure is read from a PRIMARY source: a central bank / statistics-agency publication or a national EITI report. The PERIOD is stated on every row because central-bank series are often a single month or quarter, not a full year — a monthly figure must never be read as annual. Trade-press figures were excluded.",
 "known_limits": [
  "Many central-bank figures are SINGLE-MONTH or SINGLE-QUARTER (Zambia, Zimbabwe, Liberia, Namibia, Nigeria, Botswana) — the period field says so; do not annualise them. Full-year figures: Ghana, Tanzania, Burkina Faso, Guinea, Côte d'Ivoire.",
  "Currencies are not converted; USD is carried only where the source printed it.",
  "South Africa was EXCLUDED: the only export-value figure found was in a DMPR publication, and DMPR is a restricted source barred from this platform — so no SA export figure is carried rather than breach the licence.",
  "Mali was EXCLUDED: the EITI figure available is gold PRODUCTION valorisation, not an export-table figure, so it is not carried here (Mali production is in the production feed)."
