BUREAU OF MINES STATISTICAL PROJECTION METHODOLOGY OF U.S. MINERAL CONSUMPTION BY END USE: ALUMINUM AS AN EXAMPLE

This Information Circular provides a detailed background documentation of how the Bureau of Mines projects U.S. mineral demand to the year 2000. These statistical projections serve as a quantitative basis for contingency forecasting of the low, high, and probable U.S. demand for nonfuel minerals by end-use categories and are published in the Bureau of Mines Mineral Commodity Profiles and Mineral Facts and Problems series. Aluminum is used as an example in this study.
