My understanding is that the numbers are strictly total reported reserves divided by current rate of consumption. The inner (lower value) is the time left if the entire world consumed at half the rate of the US. I'm not sure what purpose of that figure is, but there it is.
The values on the right indicate the current amount of supply met by recovery/recycling. The graphic is a little cluttered and I dislike circular graphs in general, but the data is there.
