        Title: NB_100m_UTM42
        Geospatial_Data_Presentation_Form: vector digital data
    Description:
      Abstract: This GIS dataset includes 100 m interval elevation contours of the North Bamyan mineral area of interest (AOI) derived from its corresponding Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER) Global Digital Elevation Model (GDEM) data (30 m resolution).
      Purpose: Multi-use elevation dataset to be used in the assessment, monitoring, and management of Afghanistan's mineral deposits.
