Background Information |
Sample Map
Ferrous metal processing plants are facilities that process ferrous
metals, such as iron ore, molybdenum, and silicon. This map layer
was compiled by the Minerals
Information Team of the U.S.
Geological Survey (USGS). This information is part of the Mineral
Resources Program, which is responsible for providing and communicating current,
unbiased information on the occurrence, quality, quantity, and
availability of mineral resources.
The Ferrous Metal Processing Plants map layer shows the locations
of 39 ferrous metal processing plants in the 50 United States. Only
U.S. minerals operations covered by the Minerals Information Team
of the USGS and considered currently active in 2003 are included.
No energy minerals operations or secondary (recycling, "downstream")
operations are part of this map layer. Descriptive information
includes the mineral processed at the facility, the facility location
and name, and whether the facility is just a processing plant or
both a mine and a processing plant. Further information on individual
ferrous metals is available from the Mineral
Commodity Summaries. |
