Query mineral deposits from the USGS Mineral Resources Data System (MRDS — public-domain US Government, ~304k records globally, archival snapshot frozen at 2011). Each row carries site name, development status (Producer / Past Producer / Prospect / Occurrence / Plant), commodities (commod1/2/3 + commodities array), country, state, deposit type. Default returns only Producer / Past Producer / Plant rows with a known commod1 (significant sites); pass include_minor=true for prospects and occurrences. Use for questions like "lithium mines in Chile", "rare-earth deposits worldwide", "active copper producers in Peru". Pass commodity to filter on the commodities[] array (case-sensitive, e.g. "Copper", "Lithium", "Rare Earths").
Input schema
| Property | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| lat_min | number | yes | |
| lat_max | number | yes | |
| lon_min | number | yes | |
| lon_max | number | yes | |
| commodity | string | no | Commodity name to match in the commodities array (e.g. "Copper", "Lithium", "Gold", "Rare Earths", "Uranium"). Case-sensitive. |
| dev_stat | string | no | Producer | Past Producer | Prospect | Occurrence | Plant | Unknown. Filter optional. |
| country | string | no | ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 (e.g. "CL") or country-name substring. Filter optional. |
