This paper outlines and summarizes (1) present and estimated future production of mineral resources in New Mexico; (2) location and utilization of these resources; and (3) the estimated water requirements for mineral industries for the years 1962, 1970, 1980, 2000, and 2020. This information supersedes similar data in an April 1970 memorandum by Sorensen and Stotelmeyer, ''Projected Water Requirements for New Mexico Mineral Industries for the years 1980, 2000, and 2020,'' prepared for the State Water Plan. Changes are discussed in footnotes and attachments to tables. The tables are organized in mineral commodity groups as follows: potash and other soluble salt minerals; uranium; copper; molybdenum; lead; zinc, and other metallic and nonmetallic minerals; industrial stone and minerals (sand, gravel, building stone, clay, and cement); petroleum and natural gas (oil and gas well drilling, petroleum secondary recovery); and processing of fossil fuels (coal mining, gasification, beneficiation; petroleum refining, petrochemical; natural gas processing and transmission).
