Abstract

The Mongolian Government is committed to the strategic importance of compiling, generating and publishing geoscience information to attract investment into the sector, and – through the Mineral Resources and Information Technology Centre (former) – is establishing the National Geoscience Database (NGDB) with the support of its partners, namely and among others the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development.
Key components of the NGDB are an innovative portal to provide access to a wide range of digital exploration reports, countrywide seamless digital geological and related maps, and a comprehensive GeoInfo System featuring geological research data on different topics such as intrusive and effusive rocks. The focal point for exploring and accessing geological maps and data will be the web-based NGDB Data Delivery Module including the Data Hub and the Integrated Geodata Viewer, to be fully operational in 2021.
One of the major activities of the project was to make a fault database with updated information, based on the 1:500 000 scale geological map, which was carried out in 2014-2017 by project of “Geodatabase-2014”, Geological Research Center. The database was supplemented with faults of 1:200 000 geological map and accompanying tectonic scheme from the “SGM-200” project and a preliminary goal to create a unified 1:500 000 scale fault database in Mongolia, was fulfilled.
