Mineral potential includes information related to mineral exploration targets and favourable areas.**This third party metadata element was translated using an automated translation tool (Amazon Translate).**

This model is derived from geological, geophysical and other forms of geodata. Feature extraction used deep learning. Predictive modelling made use of the deep ensemble method. Displayed is a Pan-Canadian probability map of mineral potential of graphite. This map was generated using known graphite deposits and occurrences and their associated features. Higher probability values highlight areas with an increased probability of graphite mineral systems.

This data set represents the digital Mineral Resource potential of the Province of Saskatchewan.This dataset represents the mineral resource potential of Saskatchewan. Methodologies used to determine a ranking system of low to high mineral potential areas. 6 being high mineral potential while 1 being low. The data was created as a file geodatabase feature class and output for public distribution. **Please Note – All published Saskatchewan Geological Survey datasets, including those available through the Saskatchewan Mining and Petroleum GeoAtlas, are sourced from the Enterprise GIS Data Warehouse.  They are therefore identical and share the same refresh schedule. 

The grid system used in Mineral Titles Online (MTO). This grid is used to determine the location of mineral and placer cell titles in B.C. The grid is designed based on the Mineral Title Online Grid Regulation. The mineral-placer grid does not show current cell availability status. The dataset is very large and cannot be downloaded for the entire province. Try selecting specific mapsheet grids or selecting by an area of interest to download in sections.

This is the spatial view used by Mineral Titles Online (MTO) on the mineral, placer and coal viewers. The spatial view combines the polygon information with attribute information for each title. Contains sub-surface title data in British Columbia for: - mineral claims, mining leases, mineral claim applications - placer claims, placer leases, placer claim applications - coal license applications, coal licenses, coal leases

Holds historical data for mineral and placer, claims and leases, as well as, coal license applications, licenses and leases within the Province of British Columbia. This layer is utilized by Mineral Titles Online title history on the mineral, placer and coal viewers, respectively.

Prospectivity model highlights areas of Canada with the greatest potential for clastic-dominated zinc deposits. The preferred prospectivity model is based on public geological, geochemical, and geophysical datasets that were spatially indexed using the H3 discrete global grid system. Each H3 cell is associated with a prospectivity value, or class probability, calculated from the best-performing gradient boosting machines model. Model results are filtered to include the top 20% of prospectivity values for visualization purposes.

This map displays the risk of soil degradation by water in the agricultural region of Alberta. Water erosion is a concern because it reduces soil quality by removing soil particles and nutrients, and reduces water quality if these particles are carried into nearby water bodies. The map uses five classes to describe the water erosion risk on bare, unprotected mineral soil: negligible, low, moderate, high and severe.This resource was created using ArcGIS, originally published as a print map in 1993 .

This data represents applications for a mining permit. Called a Permitted Mine Area (PMA) this polygonal boundary is for "regional mines". Notice of Work (NoW) is the name of the application. **The regional mine PMA dataset is not complete for all mine sites in BC. Review the data quality section for more information** Point representation of this dataset can be found here: https://catalogue.data.gov.bc.ca/dataset/fab53209-63be-4c61-8de4-3e3fceec4227 Mining activities with disturbance to the ground need approval. Section 10 of the Mines Act issues the authorization or permit. Boundaries within this dataset may be: - Approved and permitted NoW applications The application status field identifies the status of the application. Examples include approved, withdrawn, or rejected. Clients submit location information with their application. During review and consultation phases of the application, the permitting inspector may adjust the proposed boundary. Otherwise, this dataset displays the information submitted by the client. Regional mines include: - Exploration — mineral, coal, rock quarry, industrial mineral or dimension stone - Sand and gravel — aggregate, rock or natural substances used for construction purposes - Placer Part 9.1.1 and 10.1.1 of the Health, Safety and Reclamation Code for Mines in British Columbia describe the requirements.   Notice of work categories include type and application status: Type - Coal - Mineral - Placer Operations - Quarry – Construction Aggregate - Quarry – Industrial Mineral - Sand and Gravel Application Status - Approved - Client Delayed - Permit Closed - Pending Approval - Government Action Required - Referred - Referral Complete - Rejected - Received - Rejected-Initial - Pending Verification - Withdrawn - No Permit Required For the public view, please be aware that the ministry has removed: - All now application status of pending verification. - The attributes of all non-open permits - The attributes of all non-gold and non-jade/nephrite mine commodities

A mineral restriction is in place to limit and define mineral exploration and development within the Alberta government's mandate to protect natural or historical sites and to manage mineral resources. Examples of mineral restrictions include Bird Sanctuary, Provincial Park, and Coal Mine Licence Area. Restriction types with different levels of surface access are the result of government policy and all are mineral or substance specific.
