Version 2 contains 44,929 polygon features that cover 101,583 km² land area and include both large-scale mining as well as artisanal and small-scale mining. For the visual interpretation, we used several available satellite data sources, including Google Satellite and Microsoft Bing Imagery as well as Sentinel-2 cloudless by EOX IT Services GmbH.įor Version 2 of the data set, we analysed more than 34,000 mining locations across the globe using Sentinel-2 images for 2019. It focused on mines that were active and reported production values in the time frame between 20. Version 1 of the data set consists of 21,060 polygons that together represent 57,277 km² of surface area devoted to mining activities.
So far, we published two versions of our data set. The mining polygons include all mining ground features identified from satellite, including open pits, tailing dams, waste rock dumps, water ponds, and processing infrastructure.
