CRITICAL MINERALS
Commodity intelligence
Critical-minerals intelligence extends the same sourcing discipline as the rest of the desk: cited public data, stated methods, and capability framing where the mandate record is still being built.
Commodity intelligence at Aurus is built the way resource estimates are: from cited sources, stated methods and stated limits. Where exhibits are published, the underlying data is drawn from the pre-cleared public set (USGS, World Bank, FRED, IEA), and every figure names its source and its year.
