Metals Annual Production Reference

Here's a reference that makes it easier to get some perspective from mining news stories. It gives the annual production of each of the metals. So, if you see an announcement that the APEX Silver/Zinc mine is going into production and its producing 180,000 tonnes of zine per year you can, with this table, in your head determine that Zinc supply is going up 2%.
