Project Description
This project developed a bespoke GIS application for managing mining lease areas for silver and baryte ore deposits in northern Greece. The system was commissioned by a private mining company operating concessions under the Greek Ministry of Environment, Energy and Climate Change.
The application provided:
- A spatial database of all mining lease boundaries, overlaid with geological survey data
- Integration with the Greek cadastral system to track land ownership within lease areas
- Legal document management linked to spatial features
- Automated buffer and conflict analysis to identify overlapping claims or proximity to protected areas
- Report generation for regulatory compliance
Skills Used
