From iron, which is produced by China on a 900 million metric ton-scale, to rhodium, which has an annual production from Chile totaling 25 metric tons, the elements are produced either by the mining and refinement of ores or by extraction from brine pools — as in the case of bromine which Israel produces from the Dead Sea (165,000 metric tons).
Data from the US Geological Survey, 2009.
