1Includes data available through September 2004.
2In addition to the commodities listed, antimony, asbestos, and a variety of crude construction materials are produced, and molybdenum may have been produced as a
byproduct of copper from 1988 on; output is not reported quantitatively and available information is inadequate to make reliable estimates of output levels.
3Reported figure.
4Estimated series were based on published data on concentrate production.
