Resources Policy is an international journal devoted to mineral policy and economics. It is aimed at economists and decision makers in academia, government, and industry.

Traditional topics covered in the broad discipline of mineral economics include mineral market analysis, project evaluation, and monopoly and antitrust issues. This has spread more recently into areas such as mining and sustainable development, the resource curse, mineral wealth and corruption, the nature of mineral rents, mineral taxation and regulation, the rise of China and India major mineral consumers, and the impact of mineral development on local communities and indigenous populations.

The Editor particularly invites submissions that analyse issues of public policy, economics, and business in the areas of mining, minerals, metals, and materials.
