Essential resource activities cover an extensive range, including mining and processing energy and minerals, managing waste and landfills, agriculture, and managing water resources.

While SIAS is extremely well versed in evaluating extractive sites, SIAS also evaluates a variety of other essential resource activities including power plants, landfills, and hazardous waste facilities. Additionally, SIAS has years of experience in monitoring and assessing water resources, large-scale agriculture, and pastoralism, as well as resource-development activities almost anywhere in the world.

There is a long list of mineral commodities in the Kairos Information Hub™. They are grouped under categories such as coal, energy (other energy minerals), mineral (metallic minerals and higher-unit-value industrial minerals), and quarry (lower-unit-value industrial minerals and rocks).

The currency of SIAS data is dependent on the frequency with which regulatory and other relevant data become available, as well as the seasonality and frequency of Advanced Analytics work product. Some collected data and work product are updated monthly and some quarterly, while other data are only updated annually for various reasons or limitations in acquiring primary sourced data.
