Create GIS layers for mining projects in African country

TASK ONE: CREATE LAYER OF SELECTED MINING LICENSES IN TANZANIA – Take the list of mining areas on the Google Sheet and find the corresponding polygons within alllicenses.shp. For example: Bulyanhulu Gold Mine Mine Tanzania SML 44/99 Search out the polygon containing SML 44/99 – Where one mining area contains more than one license area, form all the license areas into one polygon. For example: North Mara Gold Mine  Mine Tanzania SML 17/96, SML 18/96 [login to view URL] 2015 Medium Find the polygons SML 17/96 and SML 18/96 and join them together in one polygon. – There are four mining projects without poloygons – if you can find these names somehow – for example, if there is a Word search facility on metadata within QGIS or whatever program you are using – please add these polygons to the layer. If not, leave them out – but tell me. - When you have all the shapes on the list, export them out as both geojson and KML as a new layer. - Make sure the layer works in Mapbox (ensure that exports are using the WGS 84 Web Pseudo Mercator projection – EPSG:3857) - Make sure each polygon has all metadata attached to it which exists in the shapefile TASK TWO: CREATE MULTIPLE LAYERS FOR BULYANHULU GOLD MINE AREA – Define an area on Mapbox that corresponds to the area in the screengrab: a rectangle about 200 km East-West and 120 km North South with the mine area centered in the middle – Take each of the shp files corresponding to different layers in Tanzania. Add them as separate layers within the geographical selection around Bulyanhulu. – CAUTION: Open the groads shp file last – it is for the whole of Africa and is very heavy and there is a possibility it might crash the system. – The ultimate goal is for us to have the data that enables us to upload a multi-layered map on Mapbox – with each layer being capable of being turned off and on, and we have ability to create a view where some of the layers are turned on by default. We have Mapbox Studio installed but are not yet using it. But the layers should be in a format where we can edit in MapBox studio as different layers and upload to Mapbox easily. – If the map loads slowly on MapBox, go back into GIS editing program and reduce the resolution of some of the layers so that the KML and/or geojson files end up being smaller. Reload. Iterate until the multi-layered map on MapBox loads reasonably fast.
