Overview
Interactive Atlas of Mineral Deposits of Peru is a portable local web atlas built to visualize mineral deposits and metallogenic belts across Peru from a lightweight browser-based viewer.
The project is designed for quick exploration without a complex deployment stack, making it practical for technical review, local analysis, and field-office use.
Core Functionality
The atlas currently supports:
- Visualization of mineral deposits
- Toggle control for metallogenic belts
- Spatial queries using polygons or rectangles
- Search for deposits and belts
- CSV export of query results
- Portable execution based on relative paths
Architecture
The repository is organized around a simple reproducible workflow:
data/stores source GeoPackage and QML filesbuild/stores web-ready derived dataweb/contains the atlas interfacescripts/build_data.pyconverts source datasets and extracts QML symbologyscripts/start_server.ps1provides a portable local server
Usage
The atlas can be launched locally by running iniciar_atlas.bat, which opens a localhost viewer in the browser and keeps the workflow accessible to non-technical users.
Python 3 is only required when rebuilding the derived datasets from the original sources.
Applied Value
This project packages mining and metallogenic information into a portable viewer focused on accessibility, fast inspection, and simple distribution, which makes it useful for technical communication and exploratory spatial analysis.
