Open Data
A Submission may use synthetic data and simulation with justified parameters, as well as open datasets (Rules, clauses 6.8–6.11):
- a dataset placed in the Team Repository must have a license that permits the distribution of copies;
- the Team is responsible for the availability of a dataset downloaded following the
README.mdinstructions; - confidential data of organizations and personal data must not be used;
- the "Data and Assumptions" section of
SUBMISSION.mdstates which data are synthetic and which are real, the sources of parameters and the licenses of the datasets.
The datasets below have had their licenses checked by the Organizer as of 5 October 2026. The list is a recommendation only and is not a legal opinion; the Team is responsible for the lawful use of data (clause 6.10).

| Quality Prediction in a Mining Process (Kaggle) | flotation | CC0, no conditions; 184 MB — a subsample is recommended | Flotation plant telemetry, prediction of SiO₂ content in the concentrate |
| Methane (Mendeley Data) | gas, ventilation, underground mine | CC BY 4.0, attribution; 59 MB | 28 sensors (CH₄, anemometers, temperature, pressure) at 1 s intervals |
| seismic-bumps (UCI) | seismicity, underground mine | CC BY 4.0, attribution; 138 KB | Seismic hazard assessment by shift |
| GeoMet dataset (Zenodo) | geology and comminution | CC BY 4.0, attribution; 0.4 MB | Drill holes with coordinates, ore hardness, copper recovery |
| MWD dataset, 15 Norwegian hard rock tunnels (Zenodo) | drilling | CC BY 4.0, attribution; 5.5 MB | Drilling parameters for 5,205 drill-and-blast cycles |
| Fragmentation from 3D drone image analysis, El Aljibe quarry (Zenodo) | blasting | CC BY 4.0, attribution; 36 KB | Particle size distribution after 12 blasts |
| Energy consumption data of a mining and processing plant (Zenodo) | energy | CC BY-SA 4.0: attribution, modified data shared under the same terms; 1.1 MB | Active and reactive power profiles of a mining and processing plant at 30-minute intervals |

OpenMines, north_pit_mine.json (GitHub) |
open-pit haulage | MIT, license text must be kept; 6 KB | Parameters of a real open pit: 71 haul trucks, excavators, cycle times |
| Mineral Facilities of Northern and Central Eurasia (USGS) | mines of Kazakhstan | no restrictions, citing USGS is recommended; 153 KB | Mines and processing plants of Kazakhstan with their capacities |
No open telemetry from haul trucks and excavators with a suitable license has been found. For haulage Modules, synthetic data calibrated against OpenMines and equipment data sheets are recommended.
Attribution
The CC BY license requires stating the author, title and source of the dataset, a link to the license, and any changes made (subsampling, format conversion). It is recommended to put this information in a data/<dataset>/README.md file or in a shared DATA_LICENSES.md file linked from the "Data and Assumptions" section.
A dataset keeps its own license: the code of the Submission is distributed under the MIT license, and data files under the terms of the dataset's license.
