IPIS’ successful handover of the Regional Mineral Database to ICGLR

Cette publication est également disponible en: ENG NL

In July 2020, IPIS finalised the International Conference on the Great Lakes Region (ICGLR) Regional Database on Mineral Flow and successfully handed it over to the organisation.

The database is both a data-entry platform to be used by Member States Mining authorities and a data-visualisation platform with a public and a password-protected interface. The public interface provides information on the origin of minerals lots being mined, traded or exported within the Great Lakes Region.  

Once operational, this web-based database will be gathering and updating data on mine sites, chain of custody, and exporters.

Through various interactive visualisation tools, the database offers information about the composition of a specific mining, trade or export lot.
