A free, sourced and confidence-rated record of Sudan's mines, concession blocks, deposits and operators — and the remote-sensing analysis that turns it into decisions.
Mining operations and concession blocks, plotted from the library. Click any point for its full record. Toggle layers at top-right.
Every record carries a source and a confidence rating. Use the tabs and the search box to explore.
This library is built to a quality-control standard — that discipline is the point.
Each entry cites the reputable public sources it rests on — USGS, company filings, peer-reviewed geology, OFAC, research institutes.
High = corroborated by two or more independent sources. Medium = one reputable source. Low = a lead, not a fact. The rating is shown on every row.
The dataset has passed a structured QA review; corrections are logged transparently, and uncertain records are flagged rather than hidden.
An automated monthly sweep checks for new developments, so the library — and this site — stay up to date.
This library is our proof of work. The same rigour goes into every analysis we deliver.
Satellite alteration and spectral mapping (ASTER, Sentinel-2, hyperspectral) that highlights prospective ground — so you focus fieldwork where it counts.
Imagery-based tracking of which mines and artisanal sites are active, and how the ground changes over time.
Land disturbance, water and rehabilitation monitoring from imagery — evidence for compliance and ESG reporting.
Studies scoped to your question — structural mapping, prospectivity modelling, or a due-diligence imagery review.
Purpose. This library is provided free for research, resource-assessment and due-diligence purposes. It is a transparency resource.
The data is provisional. Sudan has been in active civil war since April 2023. Much information cannot be independently verified; operator and production data is volatile; coordinates are approximate, not survey-grade. The confidence rating on each record is the guide to how far to trust it.
Sanctions. Some entities recorded here are subject to international sanctions and are flagged accordingly. This resource is intended to support transparency and due diligence — not to facilitate dealings with sanctioned parties. Always verify the live OFAC, EU and UK sanctions lists before any engagement.
Not advice. Nothing on this site is investment, legal or compliance advice. Decisions made on this data are the user's own.
Sources. The library is compiled from public sources including the USGS Minerals Yearbook, company filings, peer-reviewed geological literature, Chatham House, OCCRP and OFAC. A full source list accompanies the underlying dataset.
