MINEDEX provides a coordinated, project-based enquiry system for textual information on mine, deposits, prospects, etc., and related infrastructure. The Operating Mine Map custom data extract is a regularly-updated point representation of the State's mines that have a Status of either operating or under development that appear on an annually produced map. The mines are automatically selected by Status and updated regularly. Show full description

These data are part of a larger USGS project to develop an updated geospatial database of mines, mineral deposits and mineral regions in the United States. Mine and prospect-related symbols, such as those used to represent prospect pits, mines, adits, dumps, tailings, etc., hereafter referred to as “mine” symbols or features, are currently being digitized on a state-by-state basis from the 7.5-minute (1:24, 000-scale) and the 15-minute (1:48, 000 and 1:62,500-scale) archive of the USGS Historical Topographic Maps Collection, or acquired from available databases (California and Nevada, 1:24,000-scale only). Compilation of these features is the first phase in capturing accurate locations and general information about features related to mineral resource exploration and extraction across the U.S. To date, the compilation of 400,000-plus point and polygon mine symbols from approximately 51,000 maps of 17 western states (AZ, CA, CO, ID, KS, MT, ND, NE, NM, NV, OK, OR, SD, UT, WA, WY and western TX) has been completed. The process renders not only a more complete picture of exploration and mining in the western U.S., but an approximate time line of when these activities occurred. The data may be used for land use planning, assessing abandoned mine lands and mine-related environmental impacts, assessing the value of mineral resources from Federal, State and private lands, and mapping mineralized areas and systems for input into the land management process. The data are presented as three groups of layers based on the scale of the source maps. No reconciliation between the data groups was done.

The Abandoned Mine Sites database is an inventory of abandoned mine sites recommended by the Minerals Environment Liaison Committee in 1994. Following a fatal accident at an abandoned mine site near Cue in 1997, the Western Australian Government initiated funding for an ongoing program within the then Department of Minerals and Energy to develop an inventory of these sites in the State. The digital product has been released annually since December 2002, and contains records for mining-related features, which cover about 76% of the high priority historic mine sites in Western Australia. This is a comprehensive digital database of abandoned mine sites that includes photographs of individual underground and surface excavations, dumps, and rehabilitation and infrastructure features. Mining-related features are illustrated and described by morphological criteria and key attributes. Selected georeferenced historic GSWA maps and bulletins are also included. The inventory provides baseline data on historical mining-related features in Western Australia, thereby forming a solid foundation for future independent assessments of hazards, heritage value, and environmental impact. The database also provides a valuable contribution to the spatial distribution of mineralization in historical mining areas.

The digital 1:500 000 regolith map of Western Australia (preliminary edition) is based on published GSWA 1:250 000 and 1:100 000 series geological maps. These maps have been simplified for display at 1:500 000 scale to include nine geological units (exposed (areas of outcrop), colluvium, alluvium, lacustrine, coastal, tidal, calcrete, sandplain and residual) as well as areas of mining activity. This map comes with a grid spacing of 1300 metres. Data is held in GDA decimal degrees.
