DATA SOURCES CATALOGUE v1.1 +58 SOURCES REGISTERED 19 VERIFIED · 40-COUNTRY SWEEP 18 AUG 2026

Where the data comes from

Country-level geological survey infrastructure, cadastral systems, geophysical coverage, geochemistry, remote sensing layers, and contacts — the operational data substrate Afrimintel sources from in each jurisdiction where mineral activity warrants country-level depth.

What has actually been ingested. A source catalogue is a promise; a figure with a document behind it is a deliverable. As of 18 Aug 2026 the platform carries mineral production figures for all 40 jurisdictions — every figure Sourced to a named, dated document with its licence recorded, none interpolated or Afrimintel-estimated, and an honest empty with its reason where no figure exists in any source. Nothing was taken from the three sources recorded Restricted here (Kenya cadastre, South Africa DMPR, SODEMI); a build gate fails the deploy if a figure ever cites one. National production → · feed
Eleven tier-1 and tier-2 African mineral jurisdictions are catalogued below at full operational depth. Each entry names: the national geological survey body, the cadastre, the geophysics (aeromagnetics, gravity, MT, geochemistry, satellite), the mineral targets, the data portal URL, and the contact. Tier-1 jurisdictions have national-systematic data coverage comparable to Australian state surveys; Tier-2 have substantial coverage with documented gaps. Mineral provinces and country-level coverage for the remaining 29 jurisdictions in Afrimintel's 40-country coverage are surfaced on the Country Intelligence pane at lighter depth.
