WFS 2.0 Service for the INSPIRE Mineral Resources theme. INSPIRE harmonized for Minerals4EU project - M4EU Harmonized. WFS service provides access to basic information about mineral resources and mineral occurrences in Norway.

Prospecting.no is a map service created by the Geological Survey of Norway (NGU) and the Directorate of Mining. It provides: • Information on Norwegian mineral resources available to mining and exploration companies, prospectors and other users. • Easy access to a variety of information from various sources; mineral resources, geology and geophysics (Geological Survey of Norway), exploration and exploitation licenses (Directorate of Mining), protected areas (Norwegian Environment Agency) and topography (Norwegian Mapping Authority). • Map-views of ore deposits, linked to the mineral resource database at NGU. The database contains information, in variable detail on about 8.300 ore deposits/occurrences; including field descriptions, analytical data and references.

The mineral resource database provides information on mineral resources in Norway. The data provides information about metals, industrial minerals and natural stone deposits.

Gravel and Hard Rock Aggregate Database at NGU contains information on most sand, gravel and hard rock aggregate deposits and extraction places in Norway where the raw material are used for building and construction activities. In addition, the WMS/database gives an overview of stone tips. The database also provides information on land use, volume, operating conditions, manufacturers, quality and how important resources are as raw material to building engineering purposes

NGU Superficial geology - OneGeology-Europe WP3. Mapscale 1:1 M. This service shows surface geology, structures and bedrock defined by rock types and ages. The areas of bedrock are also assigned to tectonic units. The map has been compiled using data acquired during several mapping campaigns carried out over decades, which was archived in digital format, published or prepared in manuscript form between 1989 and 2001. Due to variations in the quality of information gathered and the different scales used in different mapping campaigns, the level of accuracy in the underlying national database is variable. The database is designed for presentation at the 1:1M scale.

Map showing Trigger areas - areas where a rockfall may occur, and Runout areas - areas that are affected by a rockfall when a rocfall occurs. The maps have been compiled using a computer model that recognizes the possible source areas/trigger areas in which a rockfall could occur. The criteria used for recognition are the slope of the mountain side and relevant geological information. For each source area/trigger area the runout area of the potential rockfall is calculated automatically using a DEM in combination with the relevant geological information. No field survey has been carried out for the preparation of these maps.

The dataset incorporates the main features of the bedrock geology in Norway. Areas of bedrock are classified according to rock type and age. Dyke swarms, tectonic structures, impact sites, and basalts are also shown. The areas of bedrock are also assigned to tectonic units. The map has been compiled using data acquired during several mapping campaigns carried out over decades and therefore the level of accuracy is variable.

NGU Geohazards - Rockfall susceptibility in Norway, online. The Rockfall susceptibility dataset shows the potential source areas/trigger areas and runout areas of potential rockfalls. Trigger area - area where the rockfall may occur. Runout area - area which is affected by a rockfall when a rockfall occurs.
