An interactive monitor connects mineral production and reserves to refining hubs, transport corridors, ports, and supply-disruption timelines.

Landing page captured for the 2026-08-26 issue.

Field notes

The interface separates producing countries, processing or refining hubs, off-market resources, and transport infrastructure, with risk colours based on the leading producer's share of supply. Its verification panel reports 18 of 27 commodities as table-verified and labels other material partial or spot-checked. The page also distinguishes economically mineable reserves from resources that are known but not yet proven economic, and directs readers to operator filings for project-level technical claims.
