Gold Hub · Geography

Where the record actually is

A country-level map of the hub’s own coverage: every country the record places something in, sized by how much it holds there. This is a first geographic surface, not the sector map redrawn, plotting that same map’s own per-country weight where each country actually sits.

Every country on the map

The same countries as the picture above, as a list, for a screen reader, a phone, or a printed page.

What this map does and does not cover

79 / 80Every country on the map

countries the record names, plotted at their own location.

1Not a single point

The record also names bodies that are not one country (the European Union is the one today), which this map cannot plot without inventing a location for them. They are named here, not dropped. European Union (170).

Country level, not province level

Where the record also holds a province, department or territory inside a country (Peru’s regions, DR Congo’s territoires and others), this map folds it into its own country rather than drawing it as a separate dot. Each of those still has its own place on that country’s own page.

Not one picture yet: every mine site together

A mine site with a precise enough position now shows its own point on its own page. This map does not gather all of them into one picture; that is a separate piece of work still to come.
