Title:

Saskatchewan Mineral Deposit Index (SMDI), NAD 1983 CSRS UTM Zone 13N, Saskatchewan Geological Survey 2024

Geospatial_Data_Presentation_Form: vector digital data

Description:

Abstract:

This data shows information on all known mineral occurrences in Saskatchewan. Additional occurences are added as new public domain geoscience information is analyzed. The data was created as a file geodatabase feature class and output for public distribution.

Purpose:

This data set represents the digital information on all known mineral occurrences in the Province of Saskatchewan.

Attribute_Label: Status

Attribute_Definition:

The status which the occurrence has been assigned, including a qualifier where necessary
Deposit: Production - Deposit is being actively mined. Includes producing deposits in a state of Care and Maintenance Deposit: Post-Production - Deposit is no longer being actively mined Deposit: Development - Commercial extraction facilities in active development Deposit: Feasibility - Second stage economic modelling for future commercial extraction. A Mineral Resource estimate is available, and a Mineral Reserve is available or being developed. Includes feasibility deposits undergoing bulk sample extraction Deposit: Prefeasibility - Preliminary economic modelling for future commercial extraction. A Mineral Resource estimate may be available or is being developed. Includes prefeasibility deposits undergoing bulk sample extraction Deposit: Advanced Exploration - Deposit delineation. A Mineral Resource estimate may or not be available Prospect: Primary Exploration - Mineralization is present in three dimensions as indicated by drill-hole intersections, excavations, and/or surface channel rock sampling. Mineralization extends for a significant distance along strike and down-dip with a minimum of three intersections Occurrence: Primary Exploration - Mineralization is present in two dimensions as indicated by surface rock sampling and/or isolated drill-hole intersection(s) Mineral Location - A mineral of interest is identified at the site Anomaly: Biogeochemistry - A positively anomalous sample when compared with a defined background threshold range. Location of the bedrock source not necessarily defined Anomaly: Sediment/Soil - A positively anomalous sample when compared with a defined background threshold range. Location of the bedrock source not necessarily defined.
