Incorporation of private sector geo-science data into the National Geo-science Data Base (NGDB)
Partner: National Geological Survey (NGS)
A team of geologists engaged by AMEP 2 will process reports from privately funded exploration activities to prepare key data sets for entry into the NGDB and MonGeoCat. AMEP 2 will also engage a lawyer to analyse the confidentiality status of private sector reports and assist NGS staff to negotiate with licence holders for consent to release geo-science data. Expanding access to geo-science data reduces risks and costs associated with mineral exploration and attracts investment.
