If you like information about minerals, you might find my visualisation of world production of different minerals also interesting:

https://ninhursag.herokuapp.com/

The green line shows world production form year 1900 to about 2020, depending on data availability. Yellowish green line shows available reserves – that is ‘easily’ available or economically feasible resources.

Most of USGS data series 140 minerals are included, and you can try to fit various Scipy distribution functions with the data to see some estimates.

PS. It’s on a free tier so it takes a few seconds to boot, if no one have visited recently.

Very cool, thanks! Just some quick feedback - I am colorblind (protan) and cannot distinguish among many of the graph lines or tell which part of the legend each corresponds with. This excellent article has some palette suggestions: https://davidmathlogic.com/colorblind/

Thank you for the kind feedback!

I made an issue, and will fix that and other accessibility concerns in the next release: https://github.com/peterhil/ninhursag/issues/10
