• Data is provided by the authoritative geological and mining research bureau (BRGM).
• Last update timestamp is explicitly provided as 2020-10-15.

Limitations

• Row count and data volume are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
