Unified mining cadastre
Seven provincial cadastres on one map: 21,386 claims, 25.8 million hectares, and 2,991 holders, with the mineral and file number for each polygon. Mining claims cover 66.4% of San Juan. Missing data is marked as such.

Mining cadastre, exploration, and monitoring
Four projects built from provincial cadastres, spectrometry, elevation models, and Landsat time series.
Cases
Four published tools
Spectral target screening
The screening narrows 1,877 km² to 15 targets with coordinates. In a blind test, it finds Pirquitas and Chinchillas within 20 and 80 meters of the mapped alteration footprint. Layers are published as shapefile and GeoJSON.
Excavated volume from elevation models
Elevation-model differencing gives 424 Mm³ excavated and 497 Mm³ deposited at Veladero between 2000 and 2024. At Haerwusu, where no production is published, it measures 1,742 Mm³.
Evaporation pond development
Atacama has 30.3 km² of ponds and Hombre Muerto has 9.0. Built area correlates 0.81 with declared exports after shifting the series by two years. Pond area is not production and does not represent direct lithium extraction well.
Application
Work at property scale
The public versions work at district scale. For a specific property, the screening is calibrated against the available geology and the layers are delivered ready for the team's GIS. See ways to work.
