Case Study: Artisanal and Small-scale Mining Company achieves improved governance, compliance and economic benefits with Trimble Landfolio

Using Landfolio to Manage Small-Scale Mining

Trimble’s Landfolio (formerly FlexiCadastre by Spatial Dimension) helps governments manage artisanal and small‑scale mining, a sector that in many countries contributes the majority of production but operates largely outside legal, fiscal and regulatory frameworks. Governments struggle with limited regional and national data, weak integration with formal mining and local economies, and poor health, safety and environmental oversight—conditions that increase illegal activity, conflict and lost revenue.

Landfolio provides an integrated mining cadastre and e‑government portal to map licenses, accept applications, integrate license data, monitor compliance and model obligations like payments and renewals. The system streamlines tenure applications and assessments, reduces costs, improves security of tenure, lowers illegal activity and land conflict, boosts small‑scale operators’ economic viability and government revenue, and supports better health, safety and environmental practices.
