Description: This mineral resource data was produced as part of the Mineral Resource Map of Northern Ireland via a commission from the Northern Ireland Department of the Environment. This data layer is one of a series of 21 which were used to generate a series of six digitally generated maps. This work was completed in 2012 with one map for each of the six counties (including county boroughs) of Northern Ireland at a scale of 1:100 000. The references for these maps are cites below: County Antrim and Belfast County Borough. Lusty, P. A. J., Mankelow, J. M., Cooper, M. R., Cameron, D. G., Pitfield, P. E. J., Shaw, R. A., and Linley, K. A. OR/12/017. County Armagh. Pitfield, P. E. J., Mankelow, J. M., Cooper, M. R., Cameron, D. G., Lusty, P. A. J., Shaw, R. A., and Linley, K. A. OR/12/019 County Down and Belfast County Borough. Pitfield, P. E. J., Mankelow, J. M., Cooper, M. R., Cameron, D. G., Lusty, P. A. J., Shaw, R. A., and Linley, K. A. OR/12/018 County Fermanagh. Shaw, R. A., Mankelow, J. M., Cooper, M. R., Cameron, D. G., Lusty, P. A. J., Pitfield, P. E. J., and Linley, K. A. OR/12/015 County Londonderry and Londonderry County Borough. Pitfield, P. E. J., Mankelow, J. M., Cooper, M. R., Shaw, R. A., Lusty, P. A. J., Cameron, D. G., and Linley, K. A. OR/12/016 County Tyrone. Shaw, R. A., Pitfield, P. E. J., Mankelow, J. M., Cooper, M. R., Lusty, P. A. J., Cameron, D. G. and Linley, K. A. OR/12/014 A key aspect of sustainable development is the conservation and safeguarding of non-renewable resources, such as minerals. There is a need to ensure that these resources are not needlessly sterilised by other development thus reducing access to supplies for future generations. The purpose of this is data, therefore, is to show the broad distribution of those mineral resources which may be of current or potential economic interest. This data and the accompanying maps are intended to assist strategic decision making in respect of mineral extraction and the protection of important mineral resources against sterilisation. They bring together a wide range of information, much of which is scattered and not always available in a convenient form. The data has been produced by the collation and interpretation of mineral resource data principally held by the Geological Survey of Northern Ireland and was funded via a commission from the Northern Ireland Department of the Environment. These layers display the spatial data of the mineral resources of Northern Ireland. There are a series of layers which consist of: Bedrock: Clay, Coal & Lignite, Coal – lignite proven, Conglomerate, Dolomite, Igneous and meta-igneous rock, Limestone, a 100m buffer layer on the Ulster White Limestone, Meta-sedimentary rocks, Perlite, Salt, sandstone and Silica Sand. Superficial (unconsolidated recent sediments) : Sand & gravel and Peat. The data except for the salt and proven lignite resource layers was derived from the 1:50 00 and 1:250 000 scale DigMap GB dataset.
