The distribution of mineral resources in the world is highly uneven and is closely related to geological structure, tectonic history, and processes such as magmatism, sedimentation, and metamorphism. Economic geography examines this distribution not only in physical terms but also in relation to economic development, industrialization, trade patterns, and geopolitical power. The spatial concentration of minerals has historically shaped patterns of settlement, industrial location, colonial expansion, and global inequalities. Metallic minerals such as iron ore, copper, bauxite, manganese, and precious metals are primarily associated with ancient crystalline rocks, shield areas, and regions of tectonic activity. The world’s major shield regions—such as the Canadian Shield, Brazilian Shield, African Shield, Australian Shield, and the Siberian Platform—are particularly rich in metallic minerals. These areas represent some of the oldest parts of the Earth’s crust and have undergone extensive geological processes that have concentrated minerals over millions of years.
