This dataset tabulates randomized simulation results for amounts of copper in metric tons in 163 permissive tracts for undiscovered porphyry copper deposits. The data from the child item Simulation results_sorted.csv for each permissive are randomized to allow aggregation of regional and global data using an assumption of statistical independence. This was done by generating a column of 4,999 random numbers and resorting the 4,999 sorted simulations by those random numbers. The randomized distributions for each permissive tract in a region were then summed to compute regional and global totals. For an explanation of aggregation assumptions and underlying mathematics, see Schuenemeyer, J.H., Zientek, M.L, and Box, S.E., 2011, Global mineral resource assessment – Aggregation of estimated numbers of undiscovered deposits – an R-script with an example from the Chu Sarysu Basin, Kazakhstan: U.S. Geological Survey Scientific Investigations Report 2010-5090-B, 13 p., accessed October 10, 2011, at https://pubs.usgs.gov/sir/2010/5090/b/.

This dataset provides a comprehensive, site-specific global assessment of land use areas associated with copper mining activities as of 2022. Using machine learning methodologies applied to multispectral remote sensing data, we mapped and classified operational land-use features, including open-cut pits, waste rock dumps, and tailings storage facilities. The dataset covers a total of 1,313 copper mines across 80 countries, encompassing a combined spatial extent of approximately 7,267 km².Observations were made using Sentinel-2 satellite imagery, characterized by high spectral (13 bands, 443–2203 nm) and spatial (10 m) resolution. Parameters measured include spectral reflectance values, Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), Normalized Difference Water Index (NDWI), Bare Soil Index (BSI), Enhanced Vegetation Index (EVI), Index-Based Built-up Index (IBI), and topographic information derived from Digital Elevation Models (DEM). Operational data, including historical copper production, production capacity, mining intensity, start and end dates of operations, were integrated from Standard & Poor’s and the US Geological Survey databases.The temporal coverage of the dataset is the year 2022, ensuring temporal consistency and accuracy across global mining areas. Spatial coverage is global, with significant data density in regions such as Canada, Australia, China, the United States, Chile, Peru, and Mexico.The primary purpose of this dataset was to quantify and evaluate the environmental impacts of global copper mining, particularly land use intensity and potential ecological consequences of mining activities. This dataset enables detailed environmental assessments, aids in ecological risk management, supports supply chain sustainability studies, and assists policy-makers and stakeholders in improving resource management and minimizing ecological impacts.Data collection involved preprocessing Sentinel-2 satellite imagery via the Google Earth Engine (GEE) platform, applying cloud-free median composites, and training a Random Forest classification algorithm using manually collected sample points for accurate delineation of mining features. Model validation achieved an overall accuracy of 91.08%.The dataset is provided in vector format, containing polygons annotated with detailed operational attributes, specifically: 1. Name: Copper mine name; 2. Latitude: Latitudinal coordinates of the mine centroid (WGS84, decimal degrees); 3. Longitude: Longitudinal coordinates of the mine centroid (WGS84, decimal degrees); 4. P_C: Primary commodity extracted from the mine; 5. List_of_C: List of secondary commodities extracted; 6. A_S: Activity status of the mine (e.g., Active, Inactive); 7. State/Prov: State or province location of the mine; 8. Country: Country location of the mine; 9. Land_use: Area altered by mining activities (square meters); 10. Cum_Prod: Historical cumulative copper production (metric tons); 11. MI: Mining intensity (100 m²/ton)This structure facilitates easy integration and usability across multiple research and management disciplines. The Google Earth Engine (GEE) script used for remote sensing classification is also included to facilitate replication and further analysis.

This data release provides multi-element data for drill core samples from the Mesoproterozoic Nonesuch Formation and Copper Harbor Conglomerate at the Copperwood copper deposit, Michigan, USA. Copper was determined by assay, and sulfur by inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES) after aqua regia digestion for most samples. Multi-element whole rock analyses were determined for selected samples. The Copperwood copper deposit is a sediment-hosted stratiform copper deposit in the Presque Isle Syncline of the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. The deposit has a 2018 mineral resource estimate of 42.2 million metric tons (Mt) of measured plus indicated mineral resources in the Lower Copper Bearing Sequence at an average grade of 1.60 percent Cu and 3.84 grams per ton (g/t) Ag. The measured plus indicated mineral resource in the Upper Copper Bearing Sequence is estimated to be 7.1 Mt at an average grade of 1.21 percent Cu and 3.26 g/t Ag (Gignac, 2018). The mineral reserves for the Copperwood Project are estimated at 25.4 Mt at an average grade of 1.43 percent Cu and 3.83 g/t Ag (Gignac, 2018).

This map and table comprise information on 124 world copper smelters (2 of which are closed and 1 of which is under development) and 4 (low-grade solvent extraction-electrowinning) operations whose product requires further processing to produce refined copper. The map shows the locations of facilities and a color code based on the capacity of the facilities. These data have been compiled from multiple sources and estimates, based upon production and other pertinent information. The data presented in this report can be used with data on annual copper production and on the environmental releases that characterize particular types of processes to estimate environmental residuals from copper production.
