Portugal’s recent history includes an important chapter in natural resource extraction, particularly wolfram, prized for its renowned quality, which was something of a blessing for the country’s inland regions for decades.
The “Roteiro das Minas” portal showcases mines and mining complexes currently in operation, but it is also much more than that: it features sites of geological interest and museums dedicated to geology, as well as themed tours. Enthusiasts of the sciences that study the Earth and its physical composition will find the Roteiro das Minas Portal to be the ideal resource for mapping out routes of interest and places to visit. To do so, they’ll find a map of Portugal divided into districts, plus the autonomous regions, which can be navigated to access information in a simple and interactive way, from municipality names to useful GPS coordinates.
This portal also provides additional information, such as temporary exhibitions.
One appealing feature is the ability to export information about sites of interest directly to a mobile device or computer.
The Roteiro das Minas Portal was developed by DGEG – Directorate-General for Energy and Geology (Ministry of Economy) and by Empresa de Desenvolvimento Mineiro SA, with Masterlink providing its technology platform, including the interactive map module that plays such an important role in the user experience of this portal.
