1 Summary
This report describes the draft European Minerals Yearbook which represents deliverable 4.4
of the Minerals4EU project. The draft Yearbook itself was available from the end of March
2015, when it entered a period of testing.
At the time of writing (12 June 2015) the Yearbook remains a ‘work in progress’ because
various corrections and revisions are still outstanding. During its testing phase, all data
contained within the Yearbook are being checked and all functions verified. A final version of
the Yearbook is scheduled for release towards the end of the Minerals4EU project in August
2015.
This report provides guidance to users on the data available in the Yearbook and how to
navigate around the digital Yearbook.
Further information can be found in the documents and reports published on the project
website at: www.minerals4eu.eu

2 Introduction
Deliverable 4.4 of the Minerals4EU project is the release of a draft European Minerals
Yearbook and this is available on the following weblink: http://minerals4eu.brgm-
rec.fr/m4eu-yearbook/theme_selection.html
However, it should be remembered that, at the time of writing (June 2015), this Yearbook is still a “work in progress”.
Additional or revised data are still being loaded to the yearbook, sankey diagrams are still
being added for the waste flow tab of the ‘by country’ section and other adjustments are also
required before the Yearbook will be considered ‘final’. The Yearbook is currently in a
‘testing phase’ and a number of corrections have already been identified. The work package is
dependent upon BRGM (the French Geological Survey), who have been building the
Yearbook from a technical perspective, to implement the required changes.
The new European Minerals Yearbook contains the following data types:
Production data for primary minerals – collected by BGS using long established BGS
procedures and a network of contacts with data providers. They were collected by
three main ways: writing directly to the data source, often using a ‘questionnaire’;
receiving printed or digital publications; and consulting websites or web-based
databases.
Import and export data for primary minerals – purchased in bulk from an agency that
specialises in monitoring trade information. These data are then compared to the
United Nations (UN) commodity trade web-database, to Eurostat’s online database,
or, in some cases, databases compiled by national statistical offices.
Resource, reserve and exploration data for primary minerals – collected during the
Minerals4EU project using a survey questionnaire. Data are only available from
countries that returned the questionnaires AND where data in those countries are
available. No attempts have been made to standardise any of this information with
regards to commodity names used, units, or the systems of reporting. These data are
therefore presented in the Yearbook exactly as they have been returned on the
questionnaire.
Waste flow data – collated from public sources including the Eurostat waste statistics
database, the Eurostat Comext database and other National databases and publications
(from National Environment Agencies, Ministries of Environment, etc).
Case studies – utilising publically available datasets to examine the potential for the
supply of raw materials from secondary sources for ten mineral commodities.
The following sections represent some outline instructions on how the Yearbook works and
includes some screenshots to guide the user.

Minerals4EU FP7-NMP.2013.4.1-3
3 Front pages
3.1 Accessing the Yearbook from Minerals4EU portal The link shown above will take the user direct to the Yearbook’s Menu Page but if the user
accesses the home page of Minerals4EU Portal there is a link to the Yearbook as shown:
3.2 Yearbook menu page The menu page of the Yearbook gives the user four options:
To view data for both primary minerals and mineral-based waste flows ‘by country’
To view data for only primary minerals ‘by commodity’
To view data for mineral-based waste flows ‘by category’
To view case studies on commodities from waste and other yearbook-related
documents
From the main page of the
Minerals4EU portal
access to the Yearbook is from
this button.
The user may choose
one of the 4 options
shown.
6 WP4 – Mineral Statistics British Geological Survey, Keyworth, Nottingham, UK
Minerals4EU FP7-NMP.2013.4.1-3
Below the first three options are ‘drop down’ lists enabling the user to choose what they wish
to view. Open these lists using the downward pointing arrows, select the item you wish to
view and then click the “view” button.
The front page also includes buttons to access the text for “acknowledgements” and
“disclaimer” which appear in ‘pop up’ boxes. These boxes can be closed using either the cross
in the top right corner or the ‘close’ button in the bottom right corner.
3.2 Returning to the yearbook menu page
Each page of the Yearbook has a ‘Back to Menu’ option at the top left. This will return the
user back to the menu page to enable them to make another selection.
Drop down list showing the
countries from which the user
may select.
1. Use these
buttons to access
the text for
acknowledgements
and disclaimer.

Minerals4EU FP7-NMP.2013.4.1-3
4 Viewing data ‘by country’
From the Menu page, choose the country you wish to view data for and click the ‘view’
button:
4.1 Production data The Yearbook will open the production data table by default. There are a number of ‘tabs’
across the top of the page which provide access to other data types.
For production data the Yearbook contains 10 years of data (2004 to 2013) and you can scroll
left or right to see all these years (the commodity names and units will be fixed in position). If
there is more data than can be displayed on one screen, there will be buttons below the table
on the right to give you access to additional pages.
The view
button is
below the list.
Select the data type you wish to
view by clicking on the tabs.
On all pages there is a scroll bar for
moving left or right ...
... and, where necessary, you can
move to the following pages with
these buttons.
8 WP4 – Mineral Statistics British Geological Survey, Keyworth, Nottingham, UK
Minerals4EU FP7-NMP.2013.4.1-3
You can change the number of entries visible on one screen using the option above the table
to the left. Footnotes relating to individual numbers are displayed below the table to the left.
Table notes relating to all data for a particular commodity are accessed via the button to the
bottom left.
You can sort on any of the columns using the arrows beside the column headings and filter
the entries displayed using the ‘search’ box.
To change the number of entries
displayed use this ‘drop down’ list.
Footnotes for individual numbers,
such as this, are displayed below
the table.
This button gives access to the
table notes, which relate to all
data for a particular commodity.
These appear in a ‘pop up’ box as
shown. To close this box use the
cross in the top right corner.
You can sort each column
using the arrows beside the
headings (circled) ...
... or filter the entries by
typing the commodity name
in the search box.
9 WP4 – Mineral Statistics British Geological Survey, Keyworth, Nottingham, UK
Minerals4EU FP7-NMP.2013.4.1-3
4.2 Import or export data The functions available on these tabs are essentially the same as those available for
production data. However, in general there will be more commodities and sub-commodities
for import and export data than for production data.
4.3 Resource or reserve data These data are accessed by clicking on the appropriate tab at the top of the screen.
As mentioned earlier, these data are not standardised with regards to the use of commodity
names, units, or the systems of reporting and are only available from countries that returned
questionnaires and where data in those countries are available. If different systems of
reporting have been used within a country these have been kept separate.
Access import or export data by
clicking on the appropriate tab.
The number of commodities and
sub-commodities is indicated by
the ‘entries’ as shown here ...
... and by the number of pages
shown here.
Access resources or reserves information
by clicking on the appropriate tab.
The system of reporting used for each
number is displayed immediately above
the number.
Data for some countries have been
estmated by those countries, but these
are clearly indicated.
10 WP4 – Mineral Statistics British Geological Survey, Keyworth, Nottingham, UK
Minerals4EU FP7-NMP.2013.4.1-3
Additional information provided by the responding countries, together with their replies to the
questionnaires’ metadata questions, are accessible from the button at the bottom left of the
screen.
Other available functions are similar to all other tabs including the ability to view additional
pages, change the number of entries displayed, sort on any column and filter the data using
the search box.
4.4 Exploration data These data are accessed by clicking on the appropriate tab at the top of the screen.
Again, data are only available from countries that returned questionnaires and where data in
those countries are available. These data are also not standardised with regards to commodity
names or units. In many cases exploration is being undertaken for a group of commodities
rather than a single commodity. This means that some figures are repeated for each
commodity within that group and consequently the columns should not be summed.
Six different metrics were requested during the data collection survey and not all countries
were able to provide data for all six metrics. Five of the metrics are displayed in the table
(please scroll left or right to see them all) and the sixth was a ‘free text’ activity summary.
This summary, where completed, will be accessed via a button at the bottom left of the screen
(not currently present in the draft version) together with the country’s answers to the metadata
questions included on the questionnaire.
Additional information and
metadata provided by the country
can be viewed using this button.
The information is displayed in a
‘pop up’ box as shown. Close this
box using the cross top right or
the ‘close’ button bottom right.
11 WP4 – Mineral Statistics British Geological Survey, Keyworth, Nottingham, UK
Minerals4EU FP7-NMP.2013.4.1-3
Other available functions are similar to all other tabs including the ability to view additional
pages, change the number of entries displayed, sort on any column and filter the data using
the search box.
4.5 Waste flow data These data are accessed by clicking on the appropriate tab at the top of the screen. They are
displayed slightly differently to the data for primary minerals. There are three tables of data,
for most countries, which are accessible by scrolling down the screen:
Waste generated, imported, exported and treated in 2010
Waste generated, imported, exported and treated in 2012
Waste facilities in 2010 and 2012
The waste flow data are also displayed in diagram form.
For the tables showing data on waste generated and treated, the numbers in the headings relate
to table notes which are accessible from the button (located below each diagram in the draft
version). The waste treated data have been sub-divided into the treatment options and these
figures are displayed in green to distinguish them from the total waste treated figures which
are shown in black.
Access the exploration data by clicking
on the appropriate tab.
Please scroll left or right to see all five
metrics that may contain data.
Notes relating to particular rows
(circled in this view) are
displayed below the table.
There will also be a button for
additional ifnformation and
metadata in the final version.
12 WP4 – Mineral Statistics British Geological Survey, Keyworth, Nottingham, UK
Minerals4EU FP7-NMP.2013.4.1-3
Access the waste flow data by
clicking on the appropriate tab.
The first table is for 2010 data.
Scroll down for 2012 data or data
relating to waste facilities.
Data in green are a breakdown of
the waste treated, scroll right to
see all these data columns.
Scroll down to see the diagrams.
Waste flow data presented as a
diagram. There is a key to the
letters immediately below the
diagram.
Here is the button for the table
notes (which relate to the
numbers in the column headings).
At the bottom of the page is
the table relating to waste
facilities.
13 WP4 – Mineral Statistics British Geological Survey, Keyworth, Nottingham, UK
Minerals4EU FP7-NMP.2013.4.1-3
Other available functions for each data table are similar to all other tabs including the ability
to view additional pages, change the number of entries displayed, sort on any column and
filter the data using the search box.
5 Viewing data for primary minerals ‘by commodity’ As with data ‘by country’ use the ‘drop down’ list to select the commodity you are interested
in and click the ‘view’ button.
5.1 Production data As with the ‘by country’ section, the Yearbook will open the production data tab by default.
There are a number of other tabs across the top of the page which provide access to other data
types.
This section includes graphs and maps rather than the data table which was visible under the
‘by country’ section. For some commodities there are more than one sub-commodity, for
example for copper there are production data for ‘mine’, ‘smelter’ and ‘refined’ copper.
Please scroll up or down to see the different sub-commodities.
In each case the map on the left shows which countries are producing the commodity, with
graduated shading to indicate the scale of production. Hovering your cursor (without clicking)
on a country will reveal the production figure for 2013. [Note: the testing of the Yearbook has
revealed some issues with this in the draft version which will need to be corrected for the final
version.]
Clicking on the downward pointing
arrow below the ‘By commodity’ option
produces a ‘drop down’ list of the
commodities included in the Yearbook.
(Note: some modifications are still
required to this list in the draft version)
Once you have selected the
commodity you are interested in,
click the ‘view’ button.
14 WP4 – Mineral Statistics British Geological Survey, Keyworth, Nottingham, UK
Minerals4EU FP7-NMP.2013.4.1-3
The graph on the right shows the trend of production over the 10 years 2004 to 2013 for the
40 countries combined. Hovering your cursor (without clicking) over this graph will reveal
the scale of production for each year.
The page heading indicates that
you are now looking at the data by
commodity.
The heading above the map
indicates what sub-commodity you
are viewing.
The coloured shading on the map
indentifies which countries produce
this commodity (or sub-
commodity). Hovering your cursor
over a country without clicking will
produce this box containing the
2013 production figure.
Further sub-commodities may be located
down the page, please scroll down to see
them (each one will also have both a map
and a graph).
Each commodity or sub-commodity
will have a graph showing the trend
in production over the ten years
2004 to 2013. This is the total
production in the 40 countries
covered by the Yearbook.
Hovering your cursor over the graph
will display this box containing the
figure for each year shown in the
graph.
15 WP4 – Mineral Statistics British Geological Survey, Keyworth, Nottingham, UK
Minerals4EU FP7-NMP.2013.4.1-3
Clicking on a single country in the map will reveal a graph showing the trend in production
for that country, below the graph showing the trend in the total for all countries.
Using shift and clicking on a second, or multiple, countries will change this second graph so
that the trend for all the selected countries are displayed. Hovering your cursor over this
second graph will again reveal the actual production figures for all the selected countries for
each year.
You can also un-select countries by clicking on them again (or using shift-click again if you
have multiple countries selected). There is no limit to the number of countries you can select
and compare.
The trend graph showing the total
production in all 40 countries is
still visible.
A second graph appears showing
the trend for just the one country
selected. This country is
highlighted on the map and
identified by its name and flag
above the graph.
Multiple
countries are
selected on the
map using shift
and click.
The second graph
shows the trends
for these multiple
countries, enabling
them to be
compared.
Hovering your
cursor over the
graph reveals the
figures for the
countries in each
year.

Minerals4EU FP7-NMP.2013.4.1-3
5.2 Import or export data The functions available on these tabs are essentially the same as those available for
production data.
5.3 Resources or reserves data These tabs look very different to those for production, imports or exports. Firstly, there is
some explanatory text relating to the systems of reporting used by the European countries.
This is very important because the variations in reporting methodolgy mean that it is
inappropriate to sum resource or reserve data because the figures are not comparable; it would
be like comparing apples with oranges.
As with production data, this graph
will show the trend in the total
imports for the 40 European
countries over the period 2004 to
2013 ...
... and this graph shows the trend
for individual or multiple countries
selected on the map.
As with production data, the map
on the left shows the countries
importing each commodity or sub-
commodity with graduated shading
indicating the scale of the imports.
Where there is more than one sub-
commodity, please scroll down to
see the others.
Access import or export data by
clicking on the appropriate tabs.
17 WP4 – Mineral Statistics British Geological Survey, Keyworth, Nottingham, UK
Minerals4EU FP7-NMP.2013.4.1-3
In this section by the different colours used for the map indicate the availability of data and/or
information received via the questionnaires:
Green – countries that returned statistical data for the commodity selected. This data
may still be incomplete in some way (e.g. relating to only part of the country or
excluding confidential data).
Yellow – countries that have indicated a resource or reserve exists (or there is other
evidence to suggest the resource or reserve exists) but for which there is no statistical
data available.
Grey – countries that do not have any known resources or reserves for the commodity
selected.
White – countries where no information is available at all, not even an indication of
whether the commodity exists.
Hovering your cursor over the map reveals the country name only. To see any statistical data
you need to click on the country that you are interested in. The statistical data will then appear
below the map. In the final version any notes relating to resources or reserves will appear
below the table (not currently visible in the draft version). Additional information and
metadata are also available by clicking on the button below the table.
The page heading indicates which
commodity you have seleted.
Access resources or reserves data by
clicking on the appropriate tab.
Important information relating to
resources and reserves information
The legend explains the colours used
in the map, which relate to the
availability of statistical data and
whether resources or reserves are
known to exist.
18 WP4 – Mineral Statistics British Geological Survey, Keyworth, Nottingham, UK
Minerals4EU FP7-NMP.2013.4.1-3
Selecting a country coloured, yellow, grey or white will reveal a message below the map
which reads “No data available; please see additional information and metadata”. This refers
to the button labelled “View additional information and metadata” and clicking on this button
produces a ‘pop up box’ containing whatever information is available (other than statistics)
for the country selected.
Hovering your cursor over the map
reveals the countries names only.
To see the data you need to click
on the country of interest.
Clicking on a country coloured
green (circled and highlighted
blue) will produce a table below
the map containing the statistical
data for the country selected.
Users can scroll left or right to
view all the data.
The same functions as other
tables also exist for viewing
additional pages, selecting
number of entries to view,
sorting columns or filtering.
The button below the table
produces a ‘pop up’ box as shown
with additional information and
metadata. This box can be closed
using the cross at top right or the
button at bottom right (circled).
19 WP4 – Mineral Statistics British Geological Survey, Keyworth, Nottingham, UK
Minerals4EU FP7-NMP.2013.4.1-3
5.4 Exploration data These data are accessed by clicking on the tab at the top of the screen.
The same colours as for resources and reserves tabs have been used for the map and the same
functions exist.
In this example a country
coloured yellow has been
selected. There are no statistical
data available for this country and
the additional information box
reveals this is because they did
not return the questionnaire.
However, it is known that copper
exists in Bosnia & Herzegovina
hence it was coloured yellow on
the map.
As with resources and reserves
tabs, countries coloured green
have statistical data available.
Hovering your cursor over a
country reveals its name only, to
access the data you need to click
on the country.
Access exploration data by
clicking on the exploration tab.

Minerals4EU FP7-NMP.2013.4.1-3
6 Viewing data for mineral-based waste flows ‘by category’ Unlike data for primary minerals, statistics for mineral-based waste are not available by
individual ‘commodity’ such as copper or lead. Instead they are structured by waste category
such as ‘combustion waste’ or ‘metal wastes, ferrous’ for example. This has required the
Yearbook to have a completely separate section to display these data.
As with the prevous two sections, from the Yearbook menu page, you can click on the
downward poining arrow below this section to view the available categories.
Once you have selected your category (and clicked on ‘view’) two tables are displayed. The
first contains data for 2010 and the second (positioned below the first) contains data for 2012.
Both tables contain the same navigation features as other tables in the Yearbook.
Clicking on a country coloured
green (highlighted blue) will
produce a table below the map
containing the statistical data for
the country selected.
Clicking on the button opens a
‘pop up’ box (as shown) with
additional information and
metadata. To close this box
please use the cross at top right
or button at bottom left of the
box (circled).
Please use the drop down
arrow to open the ‘drop down’
list of categories. Select a
category and then click ‘view’
button.
21 WP4 – Mineral Statistics British Geological Survey, Keyworth, Nottingham, UK
Minerals4EU FP7-NMP.2013.4.1-3
As with the waste-flow data tables that were viewed ‘by country’ earlier, the numbers in the
headings relate to table notes which are accessible from the button below each table.
The waste treated data have been sub-divided into the treatment options and these figures are
displayed in green to distinguish them from the total waste treated figures which are shown in
black. Scroll to the right to view all the columns.
The page heading indicates which
category of mineral-based waste you
are viewing.
You can filter the entries using the
search box.
You can change the number of
entries visible on the screen.
You an scroll left or right.
You can select subsequent pages to
view as necessary.
You can scroll down the
page to view 2012 data.
The numbers in the column
headings (circled) relate to table
notes, which are accessble via the
button below the table.
The table notes appear in a ‘pop
up’ box. To close this box click on
the cross at top right of the box.
Here is the button to access the
table notes.

Minerals4EU FP7-NMP.2013.4.1-3
7 Viewing case studies for the supply of secondary raw materials
from mineral-based waste In addition to collecting together the available statistics for mineral-based waste generation
and treatment by country, the Work Package examined the potential for the supply of raw
materials from these secondary sources using 10 mineral commodities as case studies. The
selected commodities are:
Iron and steel Copper Aluminium Gold
Silver Palladium Platinum Indium
Yttrium Dysprosium
It is intended that these case studies, and a full report into the methodology employed for this
work, will be made available through the Yearbook using the fourth option on the Menu page.
The draft version of the Yearbook does not yet have these in place but they will be uploaded
before the final version is released.
The detailed breakdown of waste
treatment routes are coloured green to
distinguish them from the total waste
treated figures shown in black.
As with all other tables in the Yearbook,
you can reorder the columns using the
small arrows by the column headings
(circled).
The case studies for the potential
supply of raw materials from mineral-
based waste will be available through
this option on the Menu page.
