Read these carefully. Production is not reserves and not consumption; a country can produce an element it does not use, and hold reserves it does not mine.

Stage matters. A mined figure counts ore at the mine; a refined figure counts metal after processing. The two are different quantities and are never mixed on the same scale here.

An element USGS tracks but reports no Indonesian output for is marked "not produced" — a fact, and visibly not the bottom of the ramp. An element USGS does not track at all has no production data, and is hatched as not known.

Tracked, no Indonesian output: 61 elements

This page shows production share and stops there. It carries no assessment of mining policy or its effects.
