The Southern Permian Basin Atlas (SPBA) presents a comprehensive and systematic overview of the results of over 150 years of petroleum exploration and research in the Southern Permian Basin area. The Atlas aims to stimulate the petroleum E&P industry to continue their activities in this mature basin. The subsurface characterization provided in the Atlas will also be of great value to governments, researchers and other individuals interested in the deep subsurface.

In accordance with the Mining Act (Official Gazette RS, No. 14/14 – official consolidated text and 61/17-GZ), the Geological Survey of Slovenia, in its role of Public Mining Service, supports the ministry responsible for mining (Ministry of Infrastructure) in terms of sustainable mineral management and mineral policy. The Public Mining Service is authorized to maintain a Mining Register and Mining Cadastre on the national level, including a chronology of mining rights granting (“Mining Registry Book” web application and database). All official data, even on production and reserves/resources are recorded for all mining and exploration areas in a country.

Potential areas and centres of production for Portuguese non-metallic rocks and minerals including lithium.

MIN4EU DB consists of two parts: Minerals Inventory data and Minerals Yearbook data. Minerals Inventory covers mineral occurrences and mines in Europe (onshore). The European Union has identified security of supply, improving environmental management and resource efficiency as key challenges for the raw materials sector. Data on the location and spatial distribution of primary and secondary raw materials in relation to exploration, exploitation, production and trading activities form the basis for decision-making in government and industry. Given the dynamic nature of such data, regular updates of comprehensive, reliable and harmonized information across borders are required, as there are several sources of non-harmonized data with different coverages developed over the last decades by national and international projects for different purposes. Data have been prepared and collected in the projects Minerals4EU, EURare, ProSUM, ORAMA, RESEERVE and MINTELL4EU, and others and are shared in the European Geological Data Infrastructure (EGDI).
