Title:

Minerals and Quaternary Drillhole Compilation for the Province of Saskatchewan, CSRS NAD83 Zone 13, Saskatchewan Geological Survey 2018

Geospatial_Data_Presentation_Form: vector digital data

Description:

Abstract:

This dataset started as a compilation of uranium drillholes prior to 2007, and since that time has expanded to include metallic and industrial mineral exploration drillholes and surficial sedimentology drillholes. This is an ongoing compilation whereby recent drillholes that become publically available are added. In addition, improvements are frequently made to more historic drillholes with spurious information. The dataset is not an exhaustive list of drillholes in Saskatchewan.

Purpose:

Compilation of drillholes for mineral exploration and Quaternary studies in the Province of Saskatchewan, Canada.

Entity_and_Attribute_Information:

Detailed_Description:

Entity_Type:

Entity_Type_Label: Sask_Minerals_DH_Points

Attribute:

Attribute_Label: OBJECTID

Attribute_Definition: Internal feature number.

Attribute_Definition_Source: Esri

Attribute_Domain_Values:

Unrepresentable_Domain:

Sequential unique whole numbers that are automatically generated.

Attribute:

Attribute_Label: DrillHole_Name

Attribute_Definition: Defined by industry during their exploration work.

Attribute:

Attribute_Label: Source

Attribute_Definition:

Where the data was acquired, which is primarily through industry submitted assessment reports. In some cases data is acquired through SEDAR, requested directly for industry, from websites and other publications.

Attribute:

Attribute_Label: Company

Attribute_Definition:

Name of company or inidvidual who drilled the hole. If the drillhole is part of a joint venture partnership, the operators name is typically listed.

Attribute:

Attribute_Label: Project_or_Property_Name

Attribute_Definition: The project or property on which the drillhole is located.

Attribute:

Attribute_Label: Date_Drilling_Completed

Attribute_Definition:

Date the drillhole was completed in Day-Month-Year format. For more historic drillholes, dates may be grossly estimated.

Attribute:

Attribute_Label: Easting_UTM

Attribute_Definition:

UTM NAD83 Zone 13 Easting (m). For older datasets, georeferencing of maps may have been needed. Drillhole coordinates from zone 12 and zone 14 are converted to zone 13.

Attribute:

Attribute_Label: Northing_UTM

Attribute_Definition:

UTM NAD83 Zone 13 Northing (m). For older datasets, georeferencing of maps may have been needed. Drillhole coordinates from zone 12 and zone 14 are converted to zone 13.

Attribute:

Attribute_Label: Original_Collar_Elevation_m

Attribute_Definition:

Collar elevation is from mineral assessment files, estimated from available maps or requested from industry by the Saskatchewan Geological Survey (SGS) and presented in metres. Through time accuracy and precision have improved by way of more sophiticated positioning technologies. In many instances the collar elevation is missing due to not being available in industry assessment files and therefore the SGS utilizes 1 arc second Digital Elevation Data to obtain a value (see next field).

Attribute:

Attribute_Label: Elev_Corrected_1arcsec_DEM_m

Attribute:

Attribute_Label: Total_DH_Length_m

Attribute_Definition:

Total drillhole length in metres. Also referred to as EOH (end of hole).

Attribute:

Attribute_Label: DH_Inclination

Attribute_Definition:

Initial inclination of drillhole in degrees. -90 implies a vertical hole downwards

Attribute:

Attribute_Label: DH_Azimuth

Attribute_Definition: Initial azimuth of drillhole in degrees. 0 indicates north.

Attribute:

Attribute_Label: Wedge_Hole

Attribute_Definition:

Wedge holes (or cuts, directional cuts, etc) are secondary, tertiary, etc. drillholes off of a main pilot drillhole. Collar coordinates for wedge holes are the same as those of the pilot hole. Total depth will be reflected from surface. Inclination and azimuth will be the same as the pilot hole. Geological information is only for wedge portion of the drillhole.

Attribute:

Attribute_Label: Underground_Hole

Attribute_Definition: There are only limited underground drillholes in this dataset.

Attribute:

Attribute_Label: Base_of_Quaternary_Depth_m

Attribute:

Attribute_Label: Base_of_Phanerozoic_Depth_m

Attribute_Definition:

Measured depth down the drillhole to the base of the Phanerozoic. Depth is shown in metres.

Attribute:

Attribute_Label: Base_of_Phanerozoic_Elev_m

Attribute:

Attribute_Label: Base_of_Athabasca_SG_Depth_m

Attribute:

Attribute_Label: Base_of_Athabasca_SG_Elev_m

Attribute:

Attribute:

Attribute_Label: Top_Crystalline_Bsmt_Elev_m

Attribute:

Attribute_Label: Storage_Location

Attribute_Definition:

Location where the drillhole is stored. Items listed as Regina/La Ronge are stored either at the Subsurface Laboratory in Regina (306-787-2621) or the Precambrian Laboratory in La Ronge (306-425-4498). Contact the respective facility to view the drillhole(s).
