In today’s global economy, the most valuable asset any organisation or nation can hold is land. Yet, as the demand for critical minerals and renewable energy grows, operators are facing growing pressure from regulators, communities, and investors to prove they operate responsibly, while also maintaining security of tenure.

Since 1999, Spatial Dimension has supported the extractive sector with Landfolio, providing an easy-to-use, trusted platform that helps organisations manage land and mineral rights while meeting regulatory requirements and maintaining their licence to operate.

Bridging governance and industry

The brilliance of Landfolio lies in its versatility. Used by more than 30 government agencies worldwide, it is far more than a database - it is a comprehensive compliance engine designed to bridge the gap between regulators and the industries they oversee.

These systems form the backbone of responsible resource governance to define how rights are allocated, regulations are enforced, and transparency is maintained.

Across the globe, governments rely on Spatial Dimension's technology to boost faster application processes, reduce administrative errors and bottlenecks, and to provide investors with clear visibility of available land to support sustainable development.

A single source of truth

For the private sector - across Mining, Oil & Gas, and Renewable Energy - Landfolio acts as a "single source of truth".

In an industry where organisations may hold thousands of licences across multiple jurisdictions, managing the full lifecycle of permits and obligations is complex and high risk.

Landfolio simplifies and automates these workflows, enabling real-time visibility of licences, renewals, environmental permits, and associated obligations across entire portfolios.

“Our aim is to continue our role as a global leader for responsible natural resource management - connecting local regulatory requirements to boardroom strategy, so that companies can operate with clarity at site level and integrity at portfolio level,” says Spatial Dimension’s CEO, Bill Feast.

Industry leaders are rethinking compliance

As regulatory and stakeholder expectations intensify, compliance in the extractive sector has taken on a new role. What was once viewed as an administrative function is now central to good governance and operational resilience.

At the same time, increased merger and acquisition activity is reshaping the mining industry. Organisations that understand the modern regulatory landscape are better positioned to manage risk, respond to regulatory change, and demonstrate accountability across environmental, social, and governance frameworks.

Why Landfolio?

In this changing environment, Landfolio supports this shift by directing natural resources leaders to move beyond reactive compliance. The platform provides an easy-to-use system to manage mineral rights, joint ventures, land access, and commercial agreements across entire portfolios.

Landfolio enables organisations to achieve the outcomes that matter most:

• Security of tenure through automated workflows and alerts, ensuring important deadlines and payments are never missed.
• A centralised database with fully integrated GIS that replaces spreadsheets, legacy tools, and manual systems.
• Improved compliance and governance with audit trails, standardised processes and reporting that satisfy both internal stakeholders and external regulators.
• Supported growth at every stage. Whether you are a junior explorer requiring a preconfigured system or a global major requiring a more tailored solution, the software scales to your portfolio.

Today, it is estimated that Landfolio safeguards more than USD $21bn in land assets worldwide - delivering assurance to executives, efficiency to operational teams, and credibility to investors.

Designed with collaboration, not in isolation

“Landfolio’s successful footprint is the result of decades spent listening to our customers and building a system that works across multiple jurisdictions, regulatory environments, and operating models,” added Feast.

With expertise in over 100 jurisdictions and support from a global partner network, Spatial Dimension deploys systems aligned to local legislation from day one, allowing customers to meet compliance obligations immediately.

Beyond rapid rollout, Landfolio adapts to each operating model, scales with portfolio growth, and avoids the limits of one‑size‑fits‑all solutions.

These partnerships extend across technology. As an Esri Gold Business Partner, Spatial Dimension integrates world-leading ArcGIS geospatial technology directly into Landfolio workflows, ensuring land records remain synchronised with advanced mapping and spatial analysis capabilities.

This commitment to geospatial intelligence was recognised with the 2023 Esri Cornerstone Partner Award, reflecting Spatial Dimension’s leadership in applying GIS technology to real-world land and mineral rights challenges.

Your Land. Our Business.

As industry leaders gather at the 2026 Investing in African Mining Indaba, the conversation has shifted. Access to natural resources is no longer defined solely by geology or capital, but by how effectively land and mineral rights are governed, managed, and protected.

Guided by its tagline, Your Land. Our Business., Spatial Dimension understands that land is more than just coordinates on a map; it is the foundation of enduring growth.
