MIN4EU harmonized dataset - "electronic EUROPEAN MINERALS YEARBOOK"

The electronic European Minerals Yearbook was established under the Minerals4EU project and updated during the MINTELL4EU project. It contains data for production data updates for 2004 to 2019, and trade data updates for 200 to 2018. The e-MYB also contains resource, reserve and exploration data updates with a reference year of 2019 collected in MINTELL4EU as well as an older dataset on the same collected under the Minerals4EU project. Production and trade data were collected by the British Geological Survey (BGS) as per their pre-existing programme of work regarding the provision of minerals data, and provided directly to the project via electronic data transfer. Data for exploration, resources and reserves were collected by means of an online survey which was completed by those project partners who had committed to data provision during project planning, and other participants from Geological Surveys across Europe. Resources and reserve data were prepared by data providers in multiple different forms, including using national reporting codes, internationally recognized CRIRSCO-compliant data forms and in some cases as UNFC data.
