Saxony is uncovering
its treasure
Project ROHSA 3 –
Raw material data for Saxony
The new “Berggeschrey”
ROHSA 3 – the rush on raw materials
The state of Saxony is rich in natural resources. Higher world
market prices for ores and spates have led to increased interest
in Saxon raw materials.
The team of ROHSA 3 collects and publishes information on
industrial minerals to improve the digital innovation of the
mining sector. These data provide insights into deposits, which
may optimize mining productivity. As a key project of the
Saxon raw material strategy, ROHSA 3 supports the use and
revaluation of known deposits. It is therefore of economic
significance for potential mining investors.

Discovery of the treasure
ROHSA 3 – insights into the underground
Numerous data on Saxon raw materials are stored in different
archives. The ROHSA 3 team evaluate, digitize, and subsequently
publishes these data.

1 – Evaluation and data collection
The treasure rush
ROHSA 3 – new research possibilities
Many unpublished data sets are available. Our search engine
provides access to documents and
maps, and drilling data as well as to technical information
on deposits and mining activities.
Advantages and utilization:
n
information on deposits and raw materials
n
3D geological model
n
prospectivity prognosis and data reinterpretation
n
additional information on ROHSA 3
Saxony is uncovering
its treasure!
Higher values for economy,
science, and administration
The objectives of this project are to:
n
save, digitize, and utilize data about raw materials
n
provide to drilling data, maps, and
technical reports
n
improve mining productivity
n
foster a understanding of ore and spate deposits
by data processing
