Strong Partial Thin / gap

Both ends connect: the demand-intensity seam (GCAM x strata intensities) maps final-technology demand back to mineral demand - the standing gap is the supply-side middle (components + manufacturing facility censuses).

Stage counts are not mutually exclusive - a facility spanning several stages is counted under each. The Mine count is the operating roster; the Sankey below counts the full components census, so the two can differ by a few facilities.

Supply chain · lifecycle

Value-chain lifecycle (the contract)

The value chain as one uniform contract: every commodity carries the same canonical stages, each flagged covered / partial / gap by the authoritative data strata holds. Copper is the reference fill (ICSG World Copper Factbook); others fill from their own authoritative sources (nickel from the INSG World Nickel Factbook + USGS MCS), gaps surfaced.

Refining capacity vs demand (does supply keep pace?)

IEA Critical Minerals Dataset (CMO 2025)

2030107%33.7 / 31.6 Mt
203595%31.9 / 33.5 Mt
204087%31.1 / 35.8 Mt

On IEA's own projections, refining capacity covers 107% of demand in 2030 and 87% in 2040. Projected demand outruns announced refining capacity by ~-2 Mt (2030) to ~5 Mt (2040) - a gap that new capacity or secondary (scrap) supply must close.

Bands are sized by the number of facilities strata maps at each stage; the ribbons trace the canonical value chain, not measured shipments between firms (the customs-observed company shipments below are the only inter-firm evidence, and cover only the reporter countries strata archives). Companies are ranked by captured contained-metal capacity where an official source states it. Captured-capacity totals (including the strip above) sum across stages from mine to refining, so they count the same metal more than once and reflect a partial, public-source census - not a clean single-stage refining figure. Final Technology shows projected mineral demand by end-use (IEA Critical Minerals Dataset (CMO 2025)).

Facility census across the chain

Distinct facilities at each value-chain stage, by evidence source.

Census = source-catalogued, geolocated facilities (ICMM / MRDS / MSHA). Midstream = the midstream-components seed (web-verified, downstream detail incl. precursor / cathode / cell). The two are shown apart, never summed - so the trusted census stays clean while the midstream tier fills the downstream the census can't see.
