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
