<p>Hi Joost,</p>
<p>The Belgian NGO IPIS has done a lot of work on mapping mines
& resources linked with conflicts, in DRC in particular.</p>
<p>I think they are interested by OSM (Alexandre was at the HOT
summit in Brussels) but I'm not sure how much they're using OSM
already.<br>
</p>
<p>If you'd like I'd be happy to connect you. But since it's you
asking, I'm wondering if they're not the organization you're
referring to already! ;-)<br>
</p>
<p>Best</p>
<p>Martin<br>

Sorry for that lack of clarity! They are working on the impacts of
industrial scale (usually foreign owned) resource mining on local
communities.
The basic tagging is there, but tags like tailings (apparently that's a
word especially meant for mine waste) are undocumented and we had a hard
time finding a proper tag for end of cycle operations (we used a lifecycle
prefix for now, but that doesn't seem entirely fitting)

<pre wrap="">Hi Joost,
Do you mean mines, like landmines, or mining for gold kind of mine? I
know CartONG where doing de-mining (landmine kind) Mapswipe projects if
that’s the kind you’re talking. Don’t know of anyone mapping mining
operations for resources kind of mining.

*Subject:* [HOT] mapping mines
Hi,
I was just in contact with an organisation that might be interested in
mapping mines in the South in OSM, particularly in conflict areas. Are
there any exisiting efforts I should be aware of?
We were a bit frustrated by the lack of depth of the (documented) tagging,
it would be interesting to get some experts on the subject to look at how
we can improve this.
