The Project Approval Boundary spatial data set provides information on the location of the project approvals granted for each mine in NSW by an approval authority (either NSW Department of Planning or local Council). This information may not align to the mine authorisation (i.e. mine title etc) granted under the Mining Act 1992. This information is created and submitted by each large mine operator to fulfill the Final Landuse and Rehabilitation Plan data submission requirements required under Schedule 8A of the Mining Regulation 2016. The collection of this spatial data is administered by the Resources Regulator in NSW who conducts reviews of the data submitted for assessment purposes. In some cases, information provided may contain inaccuracies that require adjustment following the assessment process by the Regulator. The Regulator will request data resubmission if issues are identified. Further information on the reporting requirements associated with mine rehabilitation can be found at https://www.resourcesregulator.nsw.gov.au/rehabilitation/mine-rehabilitation.

As described by ASTM D7780-12: This feature class contains polygons that depict post mining land use for a reclaimed Coal Mining Operation. This dataset consists of coalmining related features as described by ASTM D7780-12, "Standard Practice for Geospatial Data for Representing Coal Mining Features". These data are gathered using automated processes from participating coalmining regulatory authorities, which are generally state government agencies. The data from the various sources are transformed into common schemas as described by the ASTM Standard above. The resultant feature classes represent seamless information covering the coal producing areas of the United States. Development of these data are ongoing and will become more complete as more cooperating regulatory authorities are added to the GeoMine system.

The National Mine Map Repository (NMMR) maintains point locations for mines appearing on maps within its archive. This dataset is intended to help connect the Office of Surface Mining Reclamation and Enforcement, other federal, state, and local government agencies, private industry, and the general public with archived mine maps in the NMMR's collection. The coordinates for mine point locations represent the best information the NMMR has for the location of the mine. As much as possible, the NMMR strives to find precise locations for all historic mines appearing on mine maps. When this is not possible, another feature as close to the mine as is known is used. This information is reflected in the mine point symbols. However, the NMMR cannot guarantee the accuracy of mine point locations or any other information on or derived from mine maps. The NMMR is part of the United States Department of the Interior, Office of Surface Mining Reclamation and Enforcement (OSMRE). The mission of the NMMR is to preserve abandoned mine maps, to correlate those maps to the surface topography, and to provide the public with quality map products and services. It serves as a point of reference for maps and other information on surface and underground coal, metal, and non-metal mines from throughout the United States. It also serves as a location to retrieve mine maps in an emergency. Some of the information that can be found in the repository includes: Mine and company names, Mine plans including mains, rooms, and pillars, Man-ways, shafts, and mine surface openings. Geological information such as coal bed names, bed thicknesses, bed depths and elevations, bed outcrops, drill-hole data, cross-sections, stratigraphic columns, and mineral assays. Geographical information including historic railroad lines, roads, coal towns, surface facilities and structures, ponds, streams, and property survey lines, gas well and drill-hole locations. Please note: Map images are not available for download from this dataset. They can be requested by contacting NMMR staff and providing them with the desired Document Numbers. NMMR staff also have additional search capabilities and can fulfill more complex requests if necessary. See the NMMR website homepage for contact information: https://www.osmre.gov/programs/national-mine-map-repository. There is no charge for noncommercial use of the maps. Commercial uses will incur a $46/hour research fee for fulfilling requests.

ESRI ArcView shapefile depicting New Mexico coal mines permitted under the Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act of 1977 (SMCRA), by either the NM Mining & Minerals Division (MMD), or by the federal DOI Office of Surface Mining, Reclamation & Enforcement, as of October 2005. The permit boundaries of the mines are displayed as polygons; these boundaries were typically derived from source AutoCAD drawing (.dwg) files submitted to as part of the permitting process, and are known to contain some inaccuracies.
