      <abstract>This data set includes mineral and metal operations in the United States. The data represent commodities monitored by the National Minerals Information Center of the USGS, and the operations included are those considered active in 2003 and surveyed by the MIT.</abstract>
      <purpose>The digital data set of the National Minerals Information Center is used to create electronic and hard copy maps that depict various mineral or metal mine and/or processing locations on a national map.  The data are meant to give an overview of mining and mineral processing operations in the United States.</purpose>
