Summary

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) has compiled a geodatabase containing mineral-related geospatial data for 10 countries of interest in Southwest Asia (area of study): Afghanistan, Cambodia, Laos, India, Indonesia, Iran, Nepal, North Korea, Pakistan, and Thailand. The data can be used in analyses of the extractive fuel and nonfuel mineral industries and related economic and physical infrastructure integral for the successful operation of the mineral industries within the area of study as well as the movement of mineral products across domestic and global markets. 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 [...]

Purpose

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 and the related economic and physical infrastructure of select countries in our area of study in Southwest Asia, which are integral for the successful operation of the mineral industries within the region and the transportation of mineral products across domestic and global markets.
