Afghanistan Artisanal and Small-Scale Mining (ASM) Areas (ver. 3.0, June 2021)

This data release catalogs currently active ASM operations in Afghanistan in various parts of the country. The dataset was developed through visual interpretation of mining features from the most recently available very high-resolution satellite imagery. The polygon-based shapefiles contains 1 square kilometer gridcells, each of which indicates the presence (and number) of mine sites recorded within its extent.
