Search the non-coal mining plans
The data is held in a database that can be searched by geographical area, mineral or mine name. The information returned includes mine name, mineral, geographical area, plan date (where available), whether a digital copy of the plan is available and who to contact to purchase copies of a scanned plan (contact enquiries@bgs.ac.uk or datasales@coal.gov.uk). It should be noted that all plans are not available digitally and digital capture will incur further costs.
A limited number of the plans have been spatially located and can be identified via a spatial or map-based search, which opens in a new window. Searches for mine plans and mined minerals data can be carried out by entering a postcode, then zooming to that area and viewing mine plans on the map. See the map search help in the viewer for an explanation of the map viewer tools.
