  1. BRITISH COLUMBIA Ministry of Energy and Mines BCGS The MapPlace -An Internet-based Mineral Exploration Tool www.em.gov.bc.ca/MapPlace

  2. BCGS The MapPlace Web Site Features & Design Available Data & Maps Examples Larry Jones Don MacIntyre Pat Desjardins Ward Kilby acknowledged as early developer of MapPlace

  3. BCGS

  4. BCGS What is The MapPlace ? An Internet-based system providing access to vast amounts of geospatial data Users can interactively view, search and download datasets Create, copy and print maps and reports

  5. MapGuide Netscape, Microsoft .MWF Author Web Browser .MLF RasterImage MapGuideViewer CORDLINK HTMLDocument .MWF MapGuide Server (cordlink.gsc.mrcan.gc.ca/cordlink1/) HTTP:\\ NGSC/CGPD MINFILE/ARIS MapGuide Server ColdFusion Servers (ntserv.gis.nrcan.gc.ca/cgpd/) (www.em.gov.bc.ca/geology) MMSD MINERAL TITLES MapGuide Server ColdFusion Server (mmsd1.mms.nrcan.gc.ca/maps) (www.em.gov.bc.ca/MiDa/) .HTML MapPlace Microsoft's Internet Info Server Raster Web Server (www.em.gov.bc.ca/MapPlace) .MWF CGI Gateway Interface .CFM MapGuideServer OLE DB CGI Gateway Raster DataFiles Cold Fusion Access SDF DataFiles SQL RDBMS BCGS Internet

  6. BCGS What Data is Available ? Metallic & industrial mineral potential ranking Bedrock & surficial geology Regional silt & water geochemistry (RGS) Mineral occurrences (MINFILE) & COALFILE Assessment reports (ARIS) Mineral & Petroleum Tenure/PNG Wells

  7. BCGS Base Data Available Administrative boundaries, gazetteer, grids Topographic features, such as roads, rivers, and contours Raster images - digital elevation model (DEM) shaded relief, satellite (LandSat), aeromagnetics & othophotos

  8. Data Object Type No. of Objects / Coverage Reports, Downloads and Web Links Bedrock Geology Polygon, Line 60,000; 180,570 legend reports & download Mineral Potential Polygon 788 data report & download Aggregate Point, Polygon 725 pts / 3 areas table download COAL Reports, Boreholes, Trenches, Bulk Samples Point, PDF files 827 reports; reports & downloads 8350 boreholes; 3324 trenches; 459 bulk samples MINFILE Point 12,091 reports, downloads, links ARIS Point, PDF files 25,941 reports, downloads, links RGS Point, Polygon 44,428 complete data download Mineral Tenure Polygon 41,862 report & links Crown Grants Raster image 100% TIFF file downloads Petroleum Tenure & Wells Point, Polygon 11,917 titles; reports & downloads 14,405 wells Topography: Contours, Roads, Rail, Rivers, Lakes, Aquifers Points, Polygon, Line very large; 7000 TRIM maps; 1122 aquifers Geographic Locations (Map Grids, Gazetteer) Point, Polygon 41,500 BCGS Administration Areas (First Nations, Parks, Forestry) Polygon multiple Raster Images DEM, LandSat, Aeromagnetics, Gravity, Orthophotos

  20. BCGS Available Maps The BCGSGeology Map has access to most of the available geospatial datasets. The Exploration Assistant allows you to actively search and display elements of 4 main databases. The Mineral Titles Map displays mineral, placer and Coal tenures, with a lower window linked to Titles database. Crown Grant rasters are downloadable on this map.

  21. BCGS Investigate The MapPlace

  22. BCGS Exploration Assistantquery tools (JavaScript, ColdFusion) Gazetteer to find location Discovery Potential: where Mineral Resource Assessment program predicted new deposits MINFILE by commodity or deposit type or name Regional Geochemistry by provincial or map sheet statistical threshold Geology by age, lithology and terrane Mineral Titles by claim name and anniversary date
