California Yearly Non-Fuel Mineral Production Reports

Mining & Minerals - Evaluations / Other Non-Metals

The California Geological Survey provides an annual summary of the state mineral production exclusive of oil, gas, geothermal and coal. The summary provides information on non-fuel mineral production, mining events, new permitting, exploration, and mining legislation. To provide information in a timely manner, preliminary production estimates are given. Final production data for California 2012 Non-Fuel Mineral Production will be available in the 2014 summary. California ranked eighth in 2013 among the states in non-fuel mineral production, accounting for approximately 4.2 per cent of the United States total. There were approximately 700 active mines in the state and the total market value of production was 3.3 billion dollars. In terms of value, the top five non-fuel minerals produced in 2013 were construction sand and gravel, portland cement, boron minerals, crushed stone, and gold.
