Re: [HOT] mapping mines

I am also interested in mining activities in Mozambique for an
environmental health research project looking into the effects of poorly
regulated mining on health.
I think this initiative can be used to generate interesting data to
understand the impact of mining activities in general.

Hi Joost,

This thread looks interacting. Also had issues mapping some legal mining

Anders,
Thanks for the tips and outreach. I will follow up with you.

Chad,
Thanks for the tip, looks interesting!

Martin, Claire,
I go to (or help organize) most of the mapathons at IPIS :)
The volunteer organisation I'm talking to now has a different focus, though
I do see them potentially working together later.

Hi Joost, Russell, all,

At Natural Resource Governance Institute (NRGI) we track, collect and structure 
data on mining contracts (resourcecontracts.org) and projects 
(resourceprojects.org). We are also interested in improving the public domain 
access to accurate lat/longs on mines (happy to discuss further) and would also 
be interested in providing input on OSM tagging if useful.

In the meantime one relatively rich public domain dataset on mine locations in 
Africa is this from the World Bank:

2018-02-21 Thread Martin Noblecourt 

Hi Joost,

The Belgian NGO IPIS has done a lot of work on mapping mines & resources 
linked with conflicts, in DRC in particular.


I think they are interested by OSM (Alexandre was at the HOT summit in 
Brussels) but I'm not sure how much they're using OSM already.


If you'd like I'd be happy to connect you. But since it's you asking, 
I'm wondering if they're not the organization you're referring to 
already! ;-)


Best

Martin
