BGS BritPits version 3

The BGS BritPits version 3 is derived from a BGS database, which contains records of mineral workings covering the Great Britain, Northern Ireland, Isle of Man and Channel Islands. The coverage includes active, inactive, dormant and ceased sites and a range of mineral operations, including mines, quarries, onshore oil and gas fields, together with wharfs and rail depots handling mineral products and industrial processes which produce a mineral product. This digital archive of mining records held by the BGS, includes information from the Memoirs of the Geological Survey and Museum of Practical Geology (1846 -1872); the Mineral Statistics publications (1855 - 1986); the Inspectorate of Mines (1897, 1948 - 1993); the Directory of Mines and Quarries (1984 onwards) and the BGS Geology 50 (Geological mapping at 1:50,000 scale).The information on currently active sites has been updated continually with the cooperation of both local authorities and the minerals industry.

BGS BritPits 版本3（BGS BritPits version 3）源自英国地质调查局（British Geological Survey，简称BGS）数据库，该库收录了覆盖大不列颠、北爱尔兰、马恩岛及海峡群岛的采矿作业记录。本数据集涵盖活跃、闲置、休眠及已关停的矿址，包含矿山、采石场、陆上油气田等多种矿业经营活动类型，同时涵盖用于装卸转运矿产品的码头与铁路场站，以及生产矿产品的工业加工流程。该由BGS保管的采矿记录数字档案，其数据来源包括《地质调查与实用地质博物馆回忆录》（1846-1872）、《矿产统计公报》（1855-1986）、矿山监察署档案（1897年、1948-1993年）、《矿山与采石场名录》（1984年起），以及BGS Geology 50（1:50000比例尺地质填图数据）。当前活跃矿址的相关信息已通过与地方政府及矿业行业的合作持续更新完善。
