The runway alongside production: how much is left in the ground. Read live from /api/v1/country-reserves.json — every figure Sourced to the USGS Mineral Commodity Summaries 2026 reserves table (US public domain), carrying its basis (contained metal / ore / REO / carats) exactly as USGS states it. Nothing is typed into this page.
Reserves are a point-in-time estimate the source revises, and USGS itemises only the larger holders — many African producers are folded into “Other countries” or carry “NA”, so their absence here is the source’s, not a gap we can fill. Dual-basis rows (iron ore, chromium: ore vs contained metal) are the same reserve on two bases and must never be summed. Uranium is absent because USGS does not carry it in these summaries.
