Most geological maps were originally fitted to a particular topographic base and care must be taken in interpretation, for example when the geological data are draped on to a more recent topography.<\/p>\n<p>If customers are uncertain about the use of particular data they should seek advice on their appropriateness and limitations.<\/p>\n<h3>Mineral resource classification<\/h3>\n<p>The mineral resources maps published by BGS show the geological distribution of selected mineral resources. Mineral resources are natural concentrations of minerals or bodies of rock that are or may become of potential economic interest as a basis for the extraction of a commodity. They will exhibit physical and\/or chemical properties and be present in sufficient quantity to be of intrinsic economic interest. Mineral resources are thus economic as well as physical entities.<\/p>\n<p>The identification and delineation of mineral resources is inevitably somewhat imprecise as it is not only limited by the quantity and quality of data currently available but also involves predicting what might or might not become economic to work in the future. The assessment of mineral resources is, therefore, a dynamic process that must take into account a range of factors. These include geological re-interpretation as additional data become available, as well as the continually evolving demand for minerals or specific qualities of minerals due to changing economic, technical and environmental factors. Consequently, areas that are of potential economic interest as sources of minerals may change with time. Criteria used to define resources, for example in terms of mineral to waste ratios, also change with location and time. Thus a mineral deposit with a high proportion of waste may be viable if located in close proximity to a major market, but uneconomic if located further away. These criteria vary depending on the quality of the information available.<\/p>\n<p>The extent of mineral resources shown in these data are generally the surface expression of the resource. However, users should note that workable minerals may extend beneath overburden that is adjacent to the outcrop area shown.<\/p>\n<p>The digital mineral resource data mainly show the extent of inferred mineral resources, that is, those mineral resources that can be defined from available geological information. They have neither been evaluated by drilling or other sampling methods, nor have they had their technical properties characterised, on any systematic basis. In some areas, however, the data show the extent of mineral resources where there is a greater degree of geological assurance and the tonnage and grade are computed partially from specific measurements, in this case borehole data. Such data are only given in areas assessed for sand and gravel by BGS resource surveys (the Industrial Minerals Assessment Unit, IMAU), which defined them by overburden to mineral ratios. In these areas, the possible extent of sand and gravel concealed beneath other material is shown. IMAU resource polygons are displayed on the maps in those areas where they exist.<\/p>\n<p>Users should note that, at the interface between areas surveyed at different levels of detail, apparent mismatches between mineral resource linework may occur (for example, between IMAU assessed and non-IMAU assessed areas). Mismatches may also occur for other reasons.<\/p>\n<p>This digital information has been produced by collation and interpretation of mineral resource data principally held by BGS. The mineral resource data presented are based on the best available information, but are not comprehensive and their quality is variable. The inferred boundaries shown are, therefore, approximate. Mineral resources defined on the map delineate areas within which potentially workable minerals may occur. These areas are not of uniform potential and also take no account of planning constraints that may limit their working. The economic potential of specific sites can only be proved by a detailed evaluation programme. Such an investigation is an essential precursor to submitting a planning application for mineral working. The individual merits of the site must then be judged against other land-use planning issues. Extensive areas are shown as having no mineral resource potential, but some isolated mineral workings may occur in these areas. The presence of these operations generally reflect very local or specific situations.<\/p>\n<p>The mineral resource linework is largely derived from BGS&#8217;s 1:50\u00a0000-scale geology known as\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bgs.ac.uk\/datasets\/bgs-geology-50k-digmapgb\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">BGS Geology 50K<\/a>. Where sand and gravel assessment studies have been undertaken by BGS or other organisations, the mineral resource linework is based on digitised 1:25\u00a0000-scale mineral assessment maps, where these are available.<\/p>\n<p>The purpose of this digital information is to show the broad distribution of those mineral resources that may be of current or potential economic interest. These data are intended to assist in the consideration and preparation of development plan policies in respect of mineral extraction and the protection of important mineral resources against sterilisation.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Licence fees<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Please contact us for further information or a quote for
