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.
Select at least one of the below, (you don't have to choose from all fields). Only geographical areas, minerals and plan types where one or more plans are available are shown.
