www.prospecting.no
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 (Directorate of Nature Management) 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 5.000 ore deposits/occurrences; including field descriptions, analytical data and references.
Availability of data, related information and functionality are being continuously upgraded. Help us to improve the service: send your comments to us!
Some of the information is currently available only in Norwegian; for example the legend for geology, protected areas and topography.
