Resource monitoring
Statistical data on mineral resources, mineral or raw material industries and material cycles in Switzerland (qualitative, quantitative and economic) are collected and interpreted through resource monitoring

Summary
The Swiss Geological Survey and the Swiss Geotechnical Commission (SGTK) started the Resource Monitoring project in 2010.
Foundation for trade and international exchange
The statistical data on mineral resources, the natural resource industries and material cycles in Switzerland can clarify the import, export and trade statistics (customs statistics, Federal Statistical Office, various industries).
The federal government, authorities, industry and other interest groups benefit from this data collection. At the same time, resource monitoring facilitates the exchange with international organizations such as:
- EU Raw Material Initiative
- British Geological Survey (BGS)
- United States Geological Survey (USGS)
