Abstract

This is a dataset of possible mining areas in Myanmar that was digitized from a systematic search of high-resolution imagery available on Google Earth and Bing Aerial. Digitizing took place in late 2015 and early 2016 with the most recent imagery available (usually 2014 or 2015). A field in the attribute table called "Certainty" indicates the how confident we were that the digitized polygon is a mine, rather than some other type of ground disturbance.

Data Quality
This dataset may contain errors and omissions, and should not be considered an authoritative dataset on mining. Rather, it contains data about areas that resemble mining areas in satellite imagery. Please note that there is inherent uncertainty in this dataset, particularly with the inclusion of polygons that technicians labeled as "low" certainty of actually being a mine.
