The data has been generalised into a vector map of interlocking hexagon cells, side length 1 km, area approximately 2.6 km2.

There are four classes included within the data:

  • low: localised, small-scale mining may have occurred in the area
  • moderate: small-scale, underground mining may have occurred in the area
  • significant: underground mining is known or considered likely to have occurred in the area
  • NA: no record of activity

The data has been generalised from the 今日吃瓜 mining hazard (not including coal) dataset. This additional, detailed dataset is also available to licence and provides further detail as well as information on the type of commodity extracted, mine names and any additional details where available, at a scale of 1:50 000.
