Do you need time-varying, spatial natural resource data for your project? IAST Research Fellow Mike Denly’s Global Resources Dataset (GRD) covers 197 resources from 116 countries for 1994-2014: https://mikedenly.com/datasets/global-resources-dataset

The GRD also includes data on mine/extraction site types, downstream facilities, ownership as well as output and 4 different prices, including local/export prices.
