The opening of every dashboard is free: the map, the supply chain and who produces what. Full access opens everything after it — refining, trade and prices, export controls, chokepoints, defence, investment and the companies — refreshed every month, plus a deep-dive PDF report on every mineral.
For a first look at any mineral.

Scoped and priced per project
Each dashboard opens with the map and the supply chain, free. Then the line comes, and below it the analysis. Pick a dashboard to see its sections, with their real headlines.
Charts counted are the interactive charts; maps, timelines and tables come on top.
Five previews, each taken from a full-access section of a dashboard, with the figures and sources as they appear there.
Enrichment capacity by company, million SWU a year

Share of world cobalt demand by end use, 2024
Source: Cobalt Institute, Cobalt Market Report 2024. In the US the picture inverts: superalloys take 51% of consumption (USGS, 2025).
China's share of each stage, %
Sources: USGS MCS 2026 (mining, 2025); IEA Global Critical Minerals Outlook 2026 (refining, 2025) and 2025 (magnets, 2024). Heavy-REE separation was ~100% China until Lynas Malaysia began producing Dy and Tb in mid-2025.
The turning points on the rare-earth timeline

Where US refined-copper imports come from, average share 2021–2024

Miners, refiners, traders and developers, each with its assets, listing and what it's doing now
Mine output against refined output, country by country, from 1970 to 2024, using the British Geological Survey's World Mineral Statistics. Drag the year back to watch refining move.
What each material does in weapons, aircraft and sensors, and what that means for supply.
The metal in the penetrator — and in the lathe that made itTungsten dashboard
New refineries, stakes, offtakes and state deals, followed dashboard by dashboard. Presented as observation, not investment advice.
Where the chip-metal money is goingGallium & germanium dashboard
The full analysis of each mineral, bound into a PDF and sent straight to your mailbox: the maps, the charts and the data tables behind them, every source listed. Read it offline, print it, put it in a briefing pack.
The chokepoint is the refinery

A commodity we don't cover, a country's supply base, a trade corridor, a policy question — we build the dashboard or the report around it, mapped, charted and sourced like the ones on this site. And we brand it the way you want or require: your logo, your colours, your house style.

The opening sections of every dashboard stay free: the world map, how the supply chain works and who produces what. So does the Mineral Explorer. Full access opens the analysis that follows them, from refining and trade to chokepoints, defence, investment and the companies.
PDF reports on each of the fourteen minerals, sent to your mailbox as part of full access. Each one covers the supply chain from mine to product, the mined-vs-refined maps, the chokepoints and export controls, trade and prices, defence, investment and the companies, with the charts, the data tables behind them and every source listed.
Every dashboard is refreshed each month.
Yes. Write to hello@mineral.watch with a short note on your team and we'll come back to you.
Every chart names its sources underneath it: public statistics from the USGS, BGS, UN Comtrade, IEA and EIA, and industry bodies, price reporters and company reports where they hold the better number.
Yes. Bespoke dashboards are built on request: tell us the topic at hello@mineral.watch and we'll send a scoped proposal with the coverage, sources, timeline and price.
Every map and dashboard, refreshed every month, plus a PDF report on every mineral. No payment now: join the waitlist and we'll email you the day it opens.
