US mines produced about $90.4-billion in mineral commodities in 2021 – a $9.7-billion increase over the 2020 revised total of $80.7-billion, the US Geological Survey reported on Tuesday.

The commodities include industrial minerals and natural aggregates, as well as ferrous and nonferrous metals.

The estimated value of production of all industrial minerals was $56.6-billion, which is 63% of the total value of US mine production value.

Crushed stone was the leading nonfuel mineral commodity domestically produced, accounting for 21% of the total value of US mine production in 2021.

Metal mine production was estimated to be valued at $33.8-billion, or 23% higher than that in 2020. The main contributors to the value of metal mine production were copper (35%), gold (31%), iron-ore (13%) and zinc (7%).

The top producing states were Arizona, Nevada, Texas, California, Minnesota, Alaska, Utah, Florida, Missouri and Michigan.
