The National Mine Map Repository (NMMR) maintains point locations for mines appearing on maps within its archive. This dataset is intended to help connect the Office of Surface Mining Reclamation and Enforcement, other federal, state, and local government agencies, private industry, and the general public with archived mine maps in the NMMR's collection. The coordinates for mine point locations represent the best information the NMMR has for the location of the mine. As much as possible, the NMMR strives to find precise locations for all historic mines appearing on mine maps. When this is not possible, another feature as close to the mine as is known is used. This information is reflected in the mine point symbols. However, the NMMR cannot guarantee the accuracy of mine point locations or any other information on or derived from mine maps. The NMMR is part of the United States Department of the Interior, Office of Surface Mining Reclamation and Enforcement (OSMRE). The mission of the NMMR is to preserve abandoned mine maps, to correlate those maps to the surface topography, and to provide the public with quality map products and services. It serves as a point of reference for maps and other information on surface and underground coal, metal, and non-metal mines from throughout the United States. It also serves as a location to retrieve mine maps in an emergency. Some of the information that can be found in the repository includes: Mine and company names, Mine plans including mains, rooms, and pillars, Man-ways, shafts, and mine surface openings. Geological information such as coal bed names, bed thicknesses, bed depths and elevations, bed outcrops, drill-hole data, cross-sections, stratigraphic columns, and mineral assays. Geographical information including historic railroad lines, roads, coal towns, surface facilities and structures, ponds, streams, and property survey lines, gas well and drill-hole locations. Please note: Map images are not available for download from this dataset. They can be requested by contacting NMMR staff and providing them with the desired Document Numbers. NMMR staff also have additional search capabilities and can fulfill more complex requests if necessary. See the NMMR website homepage for contact information: https://www.osmre.gov/programs/national-mine-map-repository. There is no charge for noncommercial use of the maps. Commercial uses will incur a $46/hour research fee for fulfilling requests.

This service presents location, status, and other information regarding mining operations regulated under the Surface Mining and Reclamation Act of 1975 (SMARA) in California. The data presented in this service is reported by mine operators in annual reports provided to the California Department of Conservation Division of Mine Reclamation (DMR) under Public Resources Code section 2207. While DMR attempts to populate Mines Online with accurate map coordinate data, the DMR cannot guarantee the accuracy of operator-reported location information.

WMS service contains records of Historical mining maps stored in the archive CGS in Kutná Hora.

A map of the lead-bearing ranges and associated cultural information in the Dubuque locality was included in the original publication of the 1858 Iowa Geological Survey annual report. This zipped file contains a georeferenced map and an annotated shapefile of the contents of the map.

The database contains documentary records of mining maps stored in the archives at the ČGS workplace in Kutná Hora. Since 1990, data on these maps have been processed in a database that has been modified and upgraded many times since its inception.

This map shows the NC Mining Permits which includes the Pending, Active, Inactive, Release, and Revoked Mining permits in North Carolina.

Download .zipThe C, D Law Coal Permit Maps county coverage sets were developed using the original mine maps for over 2500 coal mining and reclamation permits issued under Ohio law and finalized (i.e. operations completed) between 1975 and December 2002.

Ohio started issuing coal mining licenses in the 1940s. The earliest license and permit requirements were minimal and did not include submittal of a map or other delineation of the mined area. Significant changes to legal requirements are reflected by the alphabetical designation of each subsequent law revision, i.e., earlier A-law permits (circa 1966) through contemporary D-law permits. The ODNR-Division of Mineral Resources Management (DMRM) has attempted to create as complete a database as possible from available archive records, however, research has identified missing permit files. Thus, this GIS data is known to be incomplete due to the loss of archival records.

The C and D law permit maps were scanned at a density of 200 dots per inch (dpi). The scanned image was then heads-up digitized using Microstation computer aided design software (CAD) to create design files grouped by county location. Data captured within the design file includes permit boundary, affected boundary, test hole locations, and associated attributes. The design file was then "placed-to-ground" using ODNR Division of Geological Survey's "ODNR Land Sub-division Background Design Files" NAD83 State Plane coverages and DOQQ aerial images obtained through the Ohio Geographically Referenced Information Program (OGRIP)/Ohio Department of Administrative Services. The design file was then converted to ARC/INFO coverage and projected to State Plane Ohio Coordinates, NAD83:

Projected coordinate system name: NAD_1983_StatePlane_Ohio_South_FIPS_3402_Feet

Geographic coordinate system name: GCS_North_American_1983

A complete county coverage set consists of five data files for the permit area, affected area, and test hole locations. For example, the coverage for Athens County includes:

athens_c_permitted (Athens County, C-permit area polygons) athens_c_affected (Athens County, C-permit affected area polygons) athens_d_permitted (Athens County, D- permit area polygons) athens_d_affected (Athens County, D-permit affected area polygons) athens_testholes (Athens County, Test Hole points)

In addition to the ArcView shape files in the county data sets, the scanned TIF images for source documents are available at DMRM. The scanned mine map depicts information about the operations conducted, environmental resources, and extracted coal resources. If more detailed information is desired, the available archival record for each captured permit can be accessed at either the State Archives at the Ohio Historical Society or the ODNR-DMRM central office.Contact Information:GIS Support, ODNR GIS ServicesOhio Department of Natural ResourcesDivision of Mineral Resources ManagementAbandoned Mine Land Program2045 Morse Rd, Bldg I-2Columbus, OH, 43229Telephone: 614-265-6462Email: gis.support@dnr.ohio.gov Data Update Frequency: As Needed

Download .zipThe B Law Coal Permit Maps county coverage sets were developed using the original mine maps for coal mining and reclamation permits issued under Ohio law from 1973 through 1976. Approximately 1285 B-Permits were issued during this time period, however, only approximately 414 records could be located and captured at this time. The Division of Mineral Resources Management will continue to search for missing B permit archival records as resources allow; additional B permit data may be added to this existing coverage in the future.

A complete county coverage set consists of three data files for the permit area, affected area, and test hole locations. For example, the coverage for Belmont County includes:

belmont_b_permitted (Belmont County, B-permit area polygons) belmont_b _affected (Belmont County, B-permit affected area polygons) belmont_testholes_b (Belmont County, Test Hole points)

Outlines of areas mined for the Wade Coal in Illinois. Mining in this seam ceased ca. 1940. This information was extracted from detailed coal mine data stored in the ISGS Coal Section library database. Lines delineate the approximate outer boundary of individual mines (if known) or general mined areas. Interior mine boundaries such as pillars or small blocks of unmined coal are commonly not depicted. Outlines have been compiled from a variety of sources. Outlines of areas mined before 1987 are commonly from source maps at scales of 1:62,500 or smaller. Outlines of areas mined since 1987 are commonly digitized at scales ranging from 1:4800 to 1:12,000. Mines whose extent is not known or which only mined a few acres are not included in this coverage. Additional information is available from the Coal Section of the Illinois State Geological Survey. Mine outlines from completed Coal Mine Quadrangle Studies were included in this feature class if applicable. An ongoing study, the detailed Coal Mine Quadrangle maps depict the best-known position of mine boundaries with respect to individual properties as located on a USGS topographic map image base. For a list of completed quadrangles please visit the ISGS Coal Section website or contact the Coal Section. This datafile was compiled and updated in 2014 in order to provide a current, state-wide data set showing surface and underground coal mines of the Wade Coal. Due to the wide range of source map scales, these data are suitable for regional applications only at the 1:100,000 scale or smaller.

The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) represent the world’s plan of action for social inclusion, environmental sustainability and economic development. The mining industry has an unprecedented opportunity to mobilize significant human, physical, technological and financial resources to advance the SDGs.

Mining is a global industry and is often located in remote, ecologically sensitive and less-developed areas that include many indigenous lands and territories. When managed appropriately, it can create jobs, spur innovation and bring investment and infrastructure at a game-changing scale over long time horizons. Yet, if managed poorly, mining can also lead to environmental degradation, displaced populations, inequality and increased conflict, among other challenges.

By mapping the linkages between mining and the SDGs, the aim of this Atlas is to encourage mining companies of all sizes to incorporate relevant SDGs into their business and operations, validate their current efforts and spark new ideas.

All maps, permits, applications and various documents filed with the County Clerk's office from the Illinois Department of Natural Resources regarding mines in Macoupin County.

This Data Release provides tabular and geospatial data digitized by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) from a U.S. Bureau of Mines (USBoM) report titled Mineral Investigation of Sangre de Cristo Wilderness Study Area, Alamosa, Custer, Fremont, Huerfano, and Saguache Counties, Colorado. The original preliminary paper report, numbered Mineral Land Assessment 65-83 (MLA 65-83; Ellis and others, 1983), presented the results of a mineral resource potential survey of areas in and around the Sangre de Cristo Range flanking the northeastern extent of San Luis Valley in south-central Colorado. Included in this Data Release are georeferenced scans of the regional plate maps, digitized sample site locations, analytical chemistry, and structural geologic data from MLA 65-83 in a modern and searchable geospatial database. In addition to the maps and associated point locations, the dataset contains 1,262 rows and 58 columns of contextual and numeric information in the main data table, as well as a table describing 97 samples excluded from the MLA report, a table of summary deposit information, a table of USBoM inventory data for the prepared and stored rock samples, and geospatial boundary data of the Sangre de Cristo Wilderness, Wilderness Study Area (WSA), and mineralized sampling areas. Prospecting, claiming, and some mining of largely polymetallic precious- and base-metal veins occurred in the Sangre de Cristo Range from the late 1800s through the early 1930s, with sporadic prospecting and some mining through the late 1980s (Ellis and others, 1983). Many of the vein networks are found along the western side of the mountains that are bounded by the Sangre de Cristo normal fault, a principal structure delineating a major segment of the Rio Grande rift. There also are mines along the crest and the northeast side of the range such as the Rita Alta copper mine. However, the locations of many claims, prospects, and mines were hand located on topographic and mine maps without modern spatial coordinate data and there were few analytical chemistry data available with properly associated geologic context. As a mandated component of the 1964 Wilderness Act, the USGS and USBoM were charged with identifying and assessing mineral resources in Federal lands known as Wilderness Study Areas (WSA; for example, Johnson and others, 1984). The Sangre de Cristo WSA included the mountainous areas from Poncha Pass in the north to the Blanca Peak area in the south. Most of the study area was ultimately designated as Wilderness in 1993. The unique sand dunes and associated watersheds on the western side of the central portion of the range, originally designated Great Sand Dunes National Monument in 1932, were redesignated as a National Park and Preserve in 2004. During the wilderness study, approximately 85 percent of the Sangre de Cristo WSA was covered by aerial photographic inspection and sites were visited by Ellis and others (1983) as access allowed. One thousand three hundred and ten (1,310) samples were collected and fire assayed for gold and silver as well as spectrographically analyzed for 40 other elements including copper, lead, molybdenum, tungsten, and uranium. Select samples were also analyzed for specific elements by various other state-of-the-art analytic methods of the time: copper, lead, and molybdenum by atomic absorption, tungsten by colorimetry, and uranium by fluorimetry. Integration of mapping, field characterization, mineralogical, and chemical data resulted in the identification of 18 more or less distinct mineralized areas. Sample locations (1,310) and a variety of enlargement maps (13) and mine maps (60) were compiled and integrated into the MLA 65-83 report along with extensive tabulation on paper with all data organized by mineralized area. During the late 1990's and 2000's the USGS completed extensive research in the Rio Grande Rift (for example, Hudson and Grauch, 2013) including the Sangre de Cristo Mountains and adjacent San Luis Valley. Much of the work focused on interpretation of new geophysical data and new geologic mapping as well as new analyses of mineralized areas and associated geologic structures. Overall, the absolute age, petrogenetic, and metallogenic affinities of the mineralized areas are poorly understood. However, some combination of magmatic, hydrothermal, structural, chemical, and fluid-related processes all contributed to the formation of the Sangre de Cristo mineral system. The digital data and information provided in this Data Release allows for public access to the information contained in the archived paper data record, report, and plates. This publication is useful in developing a better understanding of the geologic and tectonic framework, occurrences, and controls on mineralization and other Earth resources such as groundwater.

Surficial geologic map of the Circle mining district, Alaska, Report of Investigation 95-2C, presents results from a geologic investigation of surficial deposits in parts of the Circle B-1, B-2, B-3, B-4, C-2, C-3, and C-4 quadrangles. The surficial deposits of the Circle mining district have long been sources of placer gold and even alluvial diamonds. Throughout most of the map area, the bedrock surface is blanketed by periglacial slope deposits consisting of silty rubble with angular and subangular clasts of local bedrock. This unconsolidated unsorted material was produced by intense frost shattering of bedrock and was spread downslope by mass movement processes. These processes are still active in the area today. In valley bottoms, terrace and floodplain alluvium consist of coarse, angular to subangular gravels. In upland valleys, the locally auriferous are commonly mixed with slope debris. Radiocarbon dating of organic sediments ranges in age from mid-Wisconsonian to Holocene. Although frost is discontinuous, sentiments in the valley are generally frozen and locally contain bones of large extinct vertebrae. Although landforms have been extensively modified by erosion, frost action, and mass movement, recognizable glacially modified valleys, silty gravel, and till provide evidence of at least one former glaciation. Glaciation of North Harrison Creek probably had a significant effect on the distribution of nuggets there.
