GeoTerraImage has released its latest geospatial product, Mining in southern Africa. The much anticipated dataset provides precise locational intelligence on current mining activity across eleven countries, from the gold mines in South Africa, to the Copperbelt mines in southern DRC. The mine activity dataset is a spatially precise, up-to-date inventory of all mining activity in southern Africa, covering Angola, Botswana, Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia, Lesotho, South Africa, Swaziland, Tanzania, Zambia, Zimbabwe, and the DRC’s Copperbelt region. The information is available as a geospatial map-based product, suitable for GIS applications or as an Excel spreadsheet-based database; and be used as a reference base on which to converge end-user business intelligence with the product’s location intelligence to help reveal or confirm important regional insights on current mining activity and impact. The product was derived from recent satellite imagery and provides the location and spatial extent of all mining activities, from small road-side borrow-pits to large commercial operations, across the sub-continent. This product represents the baseline for determining past changes in mining activity and monitoring future mining developments. Converging business intelligence with this location intelligence can reveal important insights and also provide users a competitive advantage.
