Overview

Global Mining Dataset brings together mining asset data with a growing library of location-based datasets, allowing users to evaluate projects against a constraint set of environmental, infrastructure and social risk factors. Rather than manually collecting data from multiple sources, users can screen thousands of assets through a single workflow and generate structured outputs for further analysis.

Global Mining Dataset is intended to support pre-due diligence decision making. It helps users identify potential constraints, compare assets consistently, raise potential red flags earlier in the screening process, and focus detailed technical work on the opportunities that warrent further investigation

Early-stage mining assessments often require information from numerous independent datasets.

Analysis will typically spend significant time locating datasets, preparing GIS layers and perfoming spatial analysis, and consolidating results into spreadsheets before any meaningful evaluation can happen. These workflows are often manual, difficult to reproduce, and can be inconsistent between teams or projects.

Global mining dataset was built to standardise this process. By combining authoritative public datasets within a single geospatial framework, the platform enables users to:

• Screen large portfoliios of mining asssets consistently
• Identify potential risks and constraints at an early stage.
• Reduce manual GIS preparation and repetitive analysis.
• Generate structured outputs that support downstream due diligence.
• Apply a repeatable methodology across different projects and commodities.

The platform is not intended to replace technical due diligence. Instead, it provides a consistent, first-pass screening framework that helps prioritise where more detailed investigation should be focused.

At a high level, the platform follows a simple workflow:

• Explore mining assets through the interactive map or search tools.
• Select an asset or portfolio for analysis.
• Assess assets against available screening metrics and risk factors.
• Review results using standardised metrics and visualisations.
• Export reports or structured data for further assessment.

As new datasets beome available they are incorporated into the same screening framework, allowing users to compare the most up to date data consistently across different risk areas

The platform provides decision-support material rather than definitive assessment. The data should always be considered alongside project-specific technical, geological and commercial information

Users should always apply professional judgement and, where appropriate, undertake detailed due diligence before making investment or operational decisions. Global Mining Dataset is designed to make that process faster, more consistent and more transparent.

This documentation explains both the concepts behind the platform, and how to use its features effectively.

Topics include:

• Getting started with the platform.
• Understanding mining assets, and screening workflowsInterpreting risk metrics and scoring methodologues
• Using maps, filters and search toolsExporting reports and analysis.
• Data sources used and the update processes.
• FAQ's and known limitations.

Where appropriate, documentation also explains the assumptions behind individual datasets so users can understand what each metric represents and how it should be interpreted.
