Hi Joost,
The Belgian NGO IPIS has done a lot of work on mapping mines & resources
linked with conflicts, in DRC in particular.
I think they are interested by OSM (Alexandre was at the HOT summit in
Brussels) but I'm not sure how much they're using OSM already.
If you'd like I'd be happy to connect you. But since it's you asking,
I'm wondering if they're not the organization you're referring to
already! ;-)
Best
Martin

Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" Sorry for that lack of
clarity! They are working on the impacts of industrial scale (usually
foreign owned) resource mining on local communities. The basic tagging
is there, but tags like tailings (apparently that's a word especially
meant for mine waste) are undocumented and we had a hard time finding
a proper tag for end of cycle operations (we used a lifecycle prefix
for now, but that doesn't seem entirely fitting) Op 21 feb. 2018 3:02

Hi Joost,
Do you mean mines, like landmines, or mining for gold kind of mine? I
know CartONG where doing de-mining (landmine kind) Mapswipe projects if
that’s the kind you’re talking. Don’t know of anyone mapping mining
operations for resources kind of mining.

Hi,
I was just in contact with an organisation that might be interested in
mapping mines in the South in OSM, particularly in conflict areas. Are
there any exisiting efforts I should be aware of?
We were a bit frustrated by the lack of depth of the (documented) tagging,
it would be interesting to get some experts on the subject to look at how
we can improve this.
