Abstract

Countries' mine inventories usually include information related to exploited rock type or mineral, amount of resources, owner, location, mining rights associated, etc. All this information is a vast dataset that in the last couple of decades has been included in digital cartography in official websites, some of them freely available. This information is usually exploited as individual registers classified by substance, location, etc., but when analyzed as a whole and combined with other economic, social, and environmental variables, valuable information can be obtained. If the variable time is included in the study, these databases can reveal the evolution of mining activity in recent decades.
