Coverage

How much of the sector this hub holds

One answer, not two. This page states what the record holds, how well each part of it is corroborated, and what it names as still missing, all computed from the same record the sector map renders.

Earlier, this hub answered "how much of the sector is documented" twice: once from a curated set of highlighted organisations and jurisdictions, and once from the full graph behind the sector map. Both answers were accurate to what they counted, and an order of magnitude apart, which is not a fact a reader can be expected to reconcile alone.

This page is the one answer. The organisations, sites and events highlighted elsewhere on the hub remain a curated way in; this page is the count of everything the record holds, corroboration included.

What the record holds

Every entity below is one row in the public record, grouped into the classes a reader actually asks about. The count moves every time a crawl round lands.

291
Mine sites
995
Producers, traders and refiners
121
Jurisdictions
81
Initiatives
190
Source institutions

How well it is corroborated

A record is counted as corroborated here only when its own sources resolve to two or more independent publishers, a floor deliberately set hard to clear. Publishing where that bar is not yet met is the strongest argument that the rest of the record can be trusted: a record that shows its own thin spots is more credible than one that hides them.

176 / 291Mine sites

resting on exactly one source. 115 standing on two or more independent sources.

818 / 995Producers, traders and refiners

resting on exactly one source. 177 standing on two or more independent sources.

93 / 121Jurisdictions

resting on exactly one source. 28 standing on two or more independent sources.

74 / 81Initiatives

resting on exactly one source. 7 standing on two or more independent sources.

151 / 190Source institutions

resting on exactly one source. 39 standing on two or more independent sources.

What is known missing

Named gaps, not implied ones. Each figure below is a count of what the record does not yet hold, stated the same way as everything it does.

257Chain-of-custody relationships

Edges naming who supplies ore to whom, who ships to whom and who sources from whom. Public sources describe custody mostly at geography grain, not counterparty grain, and this is the measured size of that gap.

46 / 291Mine sites with no recorded position

No latitude and longitude held at all, so these sites cannot appear on a coordinate map even when everything else about them is known.

269Entities placed in no country at all

The record names them but does not yet link them to a jurisdiction, so they sit outside every country-level view on the hub.

14Claims where sources disagree

Published both ways, with no winner picked and nothing blended. Where sources conflict, that is what this hub shows.

Every figure on this page is computed at build time from the record. None is written into the copy, so none of them can go stale against it.
