Australian Mine Waste Database

The Australian Mine Waste database contains mine waste features including mine waste name, waste type, waste status, storage type and geographical location. It also includes relational links to the associated mineral deposit, the associated deposit commodities as well as mineral deposit models modified from the Critical Mineral Mapping Initiative mineral deposit classification scheme (Hofstra et al., 2021). Where available, additional information has been included such as structure type, volume and rehabilitation status. This data has been compiled from published references and public information such as company reports.
