Administrative boundaries called mining divisions were once used for recording claims. This information is now historic. This dataset contains the codes for each of the 24 mining division. For example, 1=ALBERNI, 2=ATLIN, 3=CARIBOO, 4=CLINTON, 5=FORT STEELE. These boundaries are no longer used for current administration. Mining division is needed when submitting the title page for your Technical Work Report. More information on ARIS Reports (https://www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content/industry/mineral-exploration-mining/british-columbia-geological-survey/assessmentreports/submissionmineral). They can also be used to reference historical records.

The Indigenous Mining Agreements dataset provides information on the Indigenous communities signatory to agreements, the types of agreements negotiated, exploration projects and producing mines.

Saskatchewan Mining and Industrial facilities with permits managed by Saskatchewan Ministry of Environment (Environmental Protection Branch).The Ministry of Environment manages a dataset of mining and industrial facilities it regulates. This content will help increase awareness and transparency regarding these activities in the province.  These include agricultural processing facilities, mining facilities, power generation facilities, oil and gas processing facilities, and industrial waste management facilities. For further information, please contact the Ministry of Environment Inquiry Centre (Toll Free) 1-800-567-4224, centre.inquiry@gov.sk.ca or visit the link on saskatchewan.ca. Locations are approximate and do not capture the entire facilities footprint. Information on this map is provided as a public service by the Government of Saskatchewan.  We cannot guarantee that all information is current and accurate.  Users should verify the information before acting on it.  The Saskatchewan Government does not assume any responsibility for any damages caused by (mis)use of this map.

Many communities in Canada depend to some extent on forestry and the forest sector. The importance of the forest industry to the regional economy can be assessed using the CanEcumene GIS Database. “Ecumene” is a term used by geographers, meaning “inhabited lands.” A forest ecumene refers to areas where human settlement coincides with forested areas, including locations where people depend on the forest for their livelihood. Populated places in the ecumene database are referenced using natural boundaries, as opposed to administrative or census boundaries, and provide a more suitable means for integrating socio-economic data with ecological and environmental data in a region.An analysis of ecumene labour force data and location of mill facilities resulted in a generalized rendering showing regional dependency of the forest industry. The location of mill facilities layer includes information on mill type (i.e., pulp and saw) and ownership. The sensitivity to forest industry layer shows which forest communities and regions are more sensitive to economic impacts in the forest industry.Two layers are provided: the sensitivity of forest communities and regions to forest industry, and the location of mill facilities.

The spatial representation of the 5 Mining Regions for the Ministry of Energy, Mines and Low Carbon Innovation (EMLI). These administrative boundaries are derived from the 8 __[Natural Resource (NR) Regions](https://catalogue.data.gov.bc.ca/dataset/dfc492c0-69c5-4c20-a6de-2c9bc999301f)__ (https://catalogue.data.gov.bc.ca/dataset/dfc492c0-69c5-4c20-a6de-2c9bc999301f).

The Mining land use registration provides an overview of Mining notifications and mining land use approvals

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

Mining activities include information relating to mining operations (active mining), advanced mineral exploration projects (development and development), and exploration properties.**This third party metadata element was translated using an automated translation tool (Amazon Translate).**
