Hi everyone,
thank you very much for the input. I will take my time and do some
research on your ideas and suggestions. Greatly appreciated in any case.
:)
All the best

Hi Thomas,
You might want to check out the DigitalGlobe Maps API - this offers
(free)
global high resolution coverage. You add it as a plugin to QGIS and do
the
mapping from there.
Check out this link if you are interested,

Best,

Hi Thomas,
Try speaking to Mikel Maron at Mapbox (and HOT)
([email protected]).
Sometimes Mapbox can help out by procuring high resolution imagery for
specific areas and adding it to the Mapbox Satellite layer accessible
through JOSM.
If that doesn’t work I suggest you reach out to the U.S. State
Department’s Mapgive: Imagery to the Crowd initiative (
http://mapgive.state.gov/ittc/). Often they can secure existing
imagery
for you and/or procure custom imagery on request.
You’ll probably need to prepare a specific AOI for all these requests.
Good luck!

Hi Thomas,
For free 10 m resolution imagery - that could be suitable for mapping
mining activity -, you could have a look at Sentinel 2 satellite
images
(also multispectral, with various lower resolutions):
