General
This list contains possible values for the resource tag. Editors should keep in mind the complexity, vagaries and contradictions of the resources industry. For example, heavy mineral sands mines provide the ore for a number of metals including titanium which comes from the mineral rutile. Rutile from the same mine may also be used as an industrial mineral (white pigment). So do you call it a heavy mineral sands, titanium or rutile mine? In this case I suggest listing rutile and the other mineral ores produced (commonly ilmenite and zircon).

More comprehensive list
There are a number of metals not listed because they are only produced as a by-product. There are a large number of industrial minerals. Some major ones are listed below and more can be added. This list doesn't contain the already mentioned resources (quick reference list).
