MIN4EU harmonized dataset - "Minerals Inventory" - national data for Luxembourg
The Service géologique du Luxembourg (Geological Survey of Luxembourg) SGL, a division of the Administration des ponts et chaussées (Roads and bridges administration), collects information about past and current mineral resource occurrence and extraction sites in Luxembourg. This information is assembled in a spatial database (about 800 records). The majority of these are building and dimension stone quarries (sandstone, limestone) and iron ore mines. Accessorily, there are slate quarries and a few other metallic ore mines. In the context of MINTELL4EU, about 550 validated records on quarries, gravel pits and mines were extracted and harmonized according to the MINTELL4EU guidelines.
