Neustaedter Erica R. Wolfe 2024 publication n/a US Geological Survey https://doi.org/10.3133/ofr20241066 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). The primary goal of this project was to compile a range of geospatial data feature classes in this ArcGIS (ESRI) geodatabase that can be used in analyses of the extractive fuel and nonfuel mineral industries in 19 countries of interest in the Indo-Pacific region (area of study), which are integral for the successful operation of the mineral industries within the region. 20230929 Data represents available information as of completion date of this feature class.

These data were collected, formatted for use within a geographic information system, and standardized as part of an overview of mineral-related geospatial information on 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. Data were compiled from various sources including USGS publications, foreign government reports and publications, peer-reviewed journal articles, and digital mineral databases, as documented within the "Credits" and lineage sections of the metadata for each individual feature class in this geodatabase. Esri ArcGIS Pro 3.1.2 All feature attribute values were peer reviewed for accuracy. Values were checked for correct data type and for presence / absence. Where possible, geographical location coordinates were checked on satellite imagery for accuracy. Data quality assurance and data quality control logic tests were performed for several feature classes. However, as many feature classes are directly from authoritative sources or from previously published governmental or scientific work, not all layers were subjected to a new logical accuracy test. Visual comparison of the feature classes supports the robustness of the overall data for feature classes not created by the National Minerals Information Center or from other programs within the U.S. Geological Survey. Data set is considered complete for the information presented, as described in the abstract. Users are advised to read the rest of the metadata records, including data-level metadata records, carefully for additional details. All relevant feature geometry was reviewed against satellite imagery in Google Earth (TM) or ESRI Global Satellite Imagery where not obtained from authoritative sources. Each individual feature class includes fields on locational accuracy and these fields should be checked for additional reference as to positional accuracy on a feature-by-feature basis. No formal positional accuracy tests were conducted.

Surveys of relevant foreign governmental mining and petroleum agencies, ministries, and scientific counterpart agencies were conducted to assess their geospatial data holdings. Three data feature classes were created by NMIC researchers using NMIC / USGS data as well as extensive research into individual operations: mineral extraction and processing facilities, mineral exploration sites, and mineral extraction and processing facilities under development. In addition, three data feature classes were created by NMIC researchers using regional- and/or country-level NMIC / USGS data: oil and gas undiscovered conventional resources (by geologic province), oil and gas undiscovered continuous resources (by geologic province), and oil and gas recoverable resources and cumulative production (by country). Data were assembled into geodatabase-normalized formats for use within the GIS and geospatial PDF map product. Additional geospatial data, such as tracts of undiscovered mineral resource assessments, cartographic elements (rivers, lakes), and political / administrative boundaries were imported from external sources in geodatabase-normalized formats with some modifications as outlined in the database-level metadata files for each feature class. These modifications included re-labeling feature attributes to fit our GIS attributes table schema, excluding data not relevant for the purpose of the GIS product (e.g. features outside the area of interest), or merging features for ease of displaying them in the final GIS and geospatial PDF map product. 20230929 1.0E-2 1.0E-2 Decimal degrees World Geodetic System 1984 (WGS 84) WGS_1984 6378137.0 298.257223563 Indo-Pacific Mineral Development (GIS Feature Class) This feature class contains the location of 285 fuel and non-fuel mineral production and processing sites under development in Indo-Pacific nations defined as Bangladesh, Bhutan, Brunei, Burma, Fiji, Malaysia, Mongolia, New Caledonia, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, Philippines, Singapore, Solomon Islands, South Korea (Republic of Korea), Sri Lanka, Taiwan, and Vietnam compiled from a variety of sources by the U.S. Geological Survey’s (USGS) National Minerals Information Center.

Indo-Pacific Mineral Resource Assessment of Copper (GIS Feature Class) This feature class contains spatial and descriptive data in the form of 34 polygons that represent permissive tracts for porphyry copper deposits in Burma, Fiji, Malaysia, Mongolia, Papua New Guinea, Philippines, Singapore, South Korea (Republic of Korea), Taiwan, and Vietnam. The tracts outline the principal areas in the countries of interest that have potential for undiscovered porphyry copper resources. Those with a quantitative estimate of resources were assessed to depths of 1 km below the earth's surface. Attributes include tract identifiers, tract name, location coordinates, country and state or province, grade/tonnage model used to assess tract, a brief description of the basis for tract delineation, age, and assessment results. The original dataset was created for USGS Scientific Investigations Series Report 2010–5090–Z, which is part of the USGS assessment of undiscovered copper resources of the world. In this feature class, all polygons that delineate permissive tracts entirely outside of our study area were excluded, some attributes were excluded or summarized, and the attribute field names have been modified from their original source to fit our GIS attributes table schema; descriptive field aliases were created from the original field names in the source data.
