PRODUCT SUMMARY SHEET
Ÿ What is the current spatial extent of mining per country?
Ÿ Where are the large commercial mining operations?
Ÿ Where are the smaller quarries and how many are there?
Ÿ What resources are being mined in the larger commercial mining operations?
Ÿ What is the spatial impact of mining in a specific region?
Ÿ Does my own database of mines contain all mapped mining activities?
SOUTHERN AFRICA MINES DATASET:
This much anticipated dataset provides precise locational intelligence on current mining activity
across 11 countries, from the Gold mines in the heart of South Africa, to the Copper-belt mines in
Southern DRC. The mine activity dataset is a spatially precise, up-to-date inventory of all mining
activity in southern Africa, covering Angola, Botswana, Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia, Lesotho,
South Africa, Swaziland, Tanzania, Zambia, Zimbabwe, and the DRC's copper-belt region. The
information is available as a geospatial map-based product, suitable for GIS applications or as an
Excel spreadsheet-based database; and is the ideal reference base on which to converge end-user
business intelligence with the products location intelligence to help reveal or confirm important
regional insights on current mining activity and impact.
Ÿ GIS compatible, digital 30m resolution raster map of all mining activity surface footprints (large commercial and smaller quarries)
Ÿ GIS compatible, digital 30m resolution raster map of all mining activities imbedded into regional land-cover dataset
Ÿ GIS compatible, digital vector polygon footprints of mining activities, with location, footprint area and type attributes
Ÿ GIS compatible, digital vector points of mapped mining activities with location, footprint area, resource type, mine name and
ownership details for the larger commercial mining operations
Ÿ Excel spreadsheet based database of all mapped mines listing mine location, footprint area, type and for larger commercial
mines, resource type, and mine name and ownership details
