HUN coal mines and deposits 20150330 v02

Abstract

The dataset was derived by the Bioregional Assessment Programme from multiple source datasets. The source datasets are identified in the Lineage field in this metadata statement. The processes undertaken to produce this derived dataset are described in the History field in this metadata statement.

This dataset contains spreadsheets summarising the location (co-ordinates), status (operating, historical, proposed etc) and type (open cut/underground), as well as other details of coal mines, in the Hunter subregion. Also contained is a geodatabase of point feature classes derived from the spreadsheet data.

The data was compiled by the BA Programme from the Ozmin database and Register of Australian Mining 2013 - 2014.

Purpose

Summarises coal mine activity in the Hunter subregion and presents data in a form suitable for the production of report maps

Dataset History

Mine data was collated from source datasets by the Bioregional Assessment Programme and summarized in an excel spreadsheet. Data includes co-ordinates of mine locations, which were used to create the spatial dataset of mine locations, to enable mapping of mine locations.
