Mine Tracker https://trace-and-traceability.org/MineTracker.php
The Mine Tracker dataset is a continuously updated open source database of active metal mines across the globe. Starting in January 2023 with 178 copper mines Mine Trackers will soon also include other metals such as lithium, tin, tungsten, tantalum and cobalt mines.
All entries are all manually checked and sourced from public records to include per mine its name, its location (longitude, latitude, address, country), ownership, metals mined and a URL and description (optional). Availability of information is not evenly spread, Wikipedia quality is uneven, language barriers are real. It is not perfect but we do are best.
Mining is not an environmentally neutral activity and the tool allows you to navigate to gigantic open pit mines scarring remote landscapes. It has its beauty but only from the safe distance of a satellite image. The ability to trace raw materials and products through a supply chain starts with mapping out the production areas and this is the core aim of the Mine Tracker database.

MINEDEX provides a coordinated, project-based enquiry system for textual information on mine, deposits, prospects, etc., and related infrastructure. The Operating Mine Map custom data extract is a regularly-updated point representation of the State's mines that have a Status of either operating or under development that appear on an annually produced map. The mines are automatically selected by Status and updated regularly.
