Method: what we add to the raw data
- The layer was converted from an interactive service into a downloadable, analysable layer with ordered fields.
- The mined product was translated into Arabic alongside the French original.
- Dates were converted from their raw numeric storage (milliseconds) into readable dates.
- Each concession and plant was attributed to its governorate, delegation and sector.
- Results were aggregated by product and by governorate: count, area and most common product.

Limitations
- Concessions are points with a centre coordinate and a numeric area, not polygon boundaries; the source does not publish boundaries.
- The expiry date is as recorded and some have passed; this does not mean the concession is still valid.
- The product is translated from free text; where no equivalent was found the Arabic field is empty.
- Exploration permits are not included; these are exploitation concessions only.
- Processing plants are six main sites, not every chemical industry facility.
