What is measured: the MCS statistics row "Mine production" — mine production in tonnes, what left mines in each calendar year. Not reserves in the ground, and not refined or smelted output. 2025 is the USGS estimate; 2024 is the reported figure.

World total: 3,300 t (2025 est.) · 3,280 t (2024).
Shares are computed against the published world total itself, never against the sum of listed producers.
