In 2023, the global reserves of the transition metal chromium amounted to an estimated 560 million metric tons, up from some 350 million metric tons in 2010. Kazakhstan had the world's largest reserves of chromium that year. Chromium metal is highly valuable due to its hardness and corrosion resistance.
