United States Geological Survey : Mineral resource data system

MRDS describes metallic and nonmetallic mineral resources throughout the world. Included are deposit name, location, commodity, deposit description, geologic characteristics, production, reserves, resources, and references. It includes the original MRDS and MAS/MILS data.

As of 2011, USGS has ceased systematic updates to MRDS, and is working to create a new database
