The report has been prepared under a Memorandum of Understanding between the U.S. Bureau of Mines, U.S. Department of the Interior, and the Utah Geological and Mineral Survey for collecting information on all nonfuel minerals. Utah mines continued to increase their production of nonfuel minerals in 1990. The total value of output increased about 3% over that of the previous year to more than $1.3 billion. This record-high value kept the State in ninth place in the nonfuel minerals industry of the Nation. Metals accounted for approximately four-fifths of the mineral value, with copper, gold, and magnesium as the principal components. Other commodities important to the State, some of which posted impressive gains in 1990, included beryllium, iron, molybdenum, portland cement, phosphate, potash, sand and gravel, and salt.
