I. Supplementary Information
Abstract: Respondents supply the U.S.
Geological Survey with domestic

public. They provide essential mining,
exploration, and development
information to make domestic ore
resource analyses. Tabulations of
volumetric data concerning domestic
mining operations’ use of land can be
used to compare the total volume of
earth disturbed with the actual crude
ore mined and the resulting marketable
product. These data are an indicator of
the future mining outlook. This
information will be published as an
Annual Report for use by Government
agencies, industry, academia, and the
general public.
