Inspire view service for the data set GE.Bedrock 1:50 000 - 1:250 000

The view service shows areas that contain mineral deposits of national interest. The deposits at these sites consist of valuable substances or materials, such as natural stone, industrial minerals and metals, considered by SGU to be important. More than half of the areas of national interest are demarcated in detail; the remainder are merely marked by a dot on the map. An assessment is made in accordance with the Environmental Code (chapter 3, section 7 second paragraph). SGU is responsible for ensuring that the relevant county administrative boards and municipalities are provided with information on the areas that contain mineral deposits of national interest.

Drill cores contains georeferenced information on bore holes where cores kept at SGU has been taken. The material is collected during documentation-, exploration- or construction projects from all over Sweden

GE.Bedrock 1:1 000 000 is a transformed version of the SGU product Bedrock1:1 million with the purpose to conform to the Inspire data specification for Geology encoded according to GeoSciML 4.0. It is also a contribution to the OneGeology initiative (www.onegeoloy.org). Data is represented in a two-dimensional model of the top of the bedrock, describing identified geological units geometry, the material composition of the units and geologic events that has acted on the units. Shear displacement structures like faults on the top of bedrock are also included in the model. The main features of the bedrock geology of Sweden is represented in the produkt and since it is based on compilation of bedrock maps of different scales, age and quality the accuracy of the data varies within the dataset. The product is produced for presentation at the scale of 1:1 miilion which means that some units are heavily generalized.

The dataset GE.Bedrock 1:1 million covering the whole of Sweden is available in this OGC WMS service. It is being served as a contribution to the OneGeology initiative (www.onegeology.org). Bedrock geology layers are available in this service. Layers available for bedrock are age, lithology and faults. In this service these are attributed and coloured according to INSPIRE standards for age, lithology and faults.

The dataset contains exploration permits that are registered at the Mining Inspectorate. You can find information about a permit's id, the name of a permit, owner of a permit and the period of validity for a permit The information is updated once a month.

The data comprise image and spectral data acquired by scanning of drillcores at SGU. The cameras in the scanner cover the visible, short wavelength and long wavelength parts of the infrared spectrum. The combination of different infrared wavelength ranges increases the mineral detection capability. Objective information about the mineralogical composition of the drillcores is fundamental basics for interpretation and modeling of the rock and the geological evolution. Level 2 is a processing level where data has been prepared for further spectral processing and product generation. Note that mineral identification is not included in level 2. This requires further processing and interpretation of the data.

The dataset GE.Bedrock 1:1 million covering the whole of Sweden is available in this OGC WFS service. The service delivers data compliant to the Inspire theme Geology encoded as GeoSciML 4.0. FeatureTypes included are MappedFeature and GeologicUnit. MappedFeatures (geometry) are specified by GeologicUnits containing information on lithology and age. The underlying dataset GE.Bedrock 1:1 million also contains information on shear displacement structures like faults that are not included in this service.

This service is an OGC Web Feature Service to deliver data for the INSPIRE theme Mineral Resources. The underlying dataset is harmonized according to specifications from various EU projects, including Minerals4EU and ProSUM, and contains information on mineral deposits, mines, production and mining waste. The dataset is based on SGU's mineral resources database (“Mineralresursdatabas” that contains point data on mineral occurrences and deposits), as well as compilations of tonnage and grade data from SGU's ore (“Malm”) database.
