01In brief

The short answer.

Trade and Strategic Resources released maps are reviewed map views of trade, resources and supply chains, published once their data rights are cleared, each with its coordinate reference, date, sources and uncertainty. Layers draw on sources such as IMF PortWatch. A map shows released, rights-cleared evidence, not a live feed or an official warning.

06Reading the maps

Cautions that apply to supply chain maps.

Deposit maps show geology, not production.
Shipping lanes are typical routes; actual routing changes with conditions.
Facility-level supply data are often commercial and incomplete.
Country concentration does not reveal firm concentration.
