The African Mines Handbook is structured in alphabetical order per country. In each country, exploration projects, projects, mines and smelters and refineries are listed in alphabetical order. Some of the more prominent exploration projects, projects, mines and smelters are also indicated on the country maps.

The printed version of the handbook features three different cross references in the back. These are all alphabetically sorted, and sorted per country according to:
1. mineralisation;
2. Exploration, projects, mines and smelters/refineries according to name; and
3. Owner (with head office contact details listed below every owner as well as which operations it owns).
The handbook, though, cannot be bought on its own and is always accompanied by a one-year subscription to African Mines Online at www.mining.co.za. This facility contains background information on each country, as well as futher details on each operation.
