My thanks to Ronald Smith, Noel Kirshenbaum (x2) and Rafael Dobado who
responded on this. I actually tracked down some local sources that others
may care to note.
ABARE 2001, Australian Commodity Statistics, Australian Bureau of
Agriculture and Resource Economics, Canberra, ACT Australia.
Australian Mineral Industry Production and Trade, 1842-64, Bureau of Mineral
Resources Geology and Geophysics Bulletin 81, Commonwealth of Australia,
Canberra, ACT Australia 1966.
Both give world prices for the full range of mineral commodities.
