Abstract:
The great mineral wealth within the borders of the United States has made major contributions to the nation's robust economy. Income derived from mineral production and from the directly dependent smelting, refining, and processing industries accounts for almost a third of the national income. The value of production from wells, mines, and quarries now stands at $25 billion annually and continued growth at historic rates will increase this value to $60 billion by 1980. The mineral industry's future is clouded by many problems, the most pressing of which is the finding of new reserves to meet soaring demand. Unfortunately, the earth scientist, who must solve the problems of locating supplies, is in a declining profession--his ranks are thinning and his status is threatened Both the extractive mineral industry and the professional earth scientist must take immediate steps to reverse this trend, or the professional earth scientist, the mineral industry, and the nation will lose.
