Compilation of Geospatial Data (GIS) for the Mineral Industries of Select Countries in the Indo-Pacific

Metadata Updated: October 20, 2024

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) has compiled a geodatabase containing mineral-related geospatial data for 19 countries of interest in the Indo-Pacific region (area of study): Bangladesh, Bhutan, Brunei, Burma, Fiji, Malaysia, Mongolia, Nauru, New Caledonia, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, Philippines, Singapore, Solomon Islands, South Korea (Republic of Korea), Sri Lanka, Taiwan, Timor-Leste, and Vietnam. The data can be used in analyses of the extractive fuel and nonfuel mineral industries integral for the successful operation of the mineral industries within the area of study. This geodatabase reflects the USGS ongoing commitment to its mission of understanding the nature and distribution of global mineral commodity supply chains by updating and publishing the georeferenced locations of mineral commodity production and processing facilities, mineral exploration sites, and mineral sites and processing facilities under development for the countries in the area of study. The geodatabase contains data feature classes from USGS, foreign governmental, and open-source sources as follows: (1) mineral production and processing facilities, (2) mineral exploration sites, (3) mineral production and processing facilities under development, (4) undiscovered mineral resource tracts for copper, (5) coal occurrence areas, (6) undiscovered, technically recoverable conventional and continuous hydrocarbon resources (by USGS geologic province), and (7) cumulative production and recoverable conventional resources (by province groups).
