MINFILE maps for released areas (i.e., those with complete and accurate data), contain a topographic base with a geology layer, a geological legend, and the mineral occurrence layer. In the map package is a Summary Report of the map area, including an index map and selected references; and tabular indexes, including MINFILE Number, Primary Name, Primary Commodity and NTS Map.

The 101 Mineral Inventory/MINFILE maps are also available on microfiche for $10.00 per set. This microfiche set was last updated January 1997. Paper copies of the maps, which may be purchased for $5.00 per map area, are plotted at either a 1:100,000 or 1:250,000 scale depending on the density of occurrences on the map. The fiche and maps are available from Crown Publications.
