- New Occurrences
& Updates in MINFILE
- MINFILE/www - Searches and
more Reports on the Web
No. of Occurrences: 12,000; Data updated monthly.
Visit MINFILE/www and search
the MINFILE database of over 12,000 mineral occurrences. Simple queries include MINFILE
Name, Number, NTS map location, Status, Commodity and Deposit Type. Results are reported
as a table and each occurrence is linked to a Capsule Geology and Bibliography
Report. Each result is linked to a MapGuide window with the map centred on the
occurrence. Results can be progressively queried and a list of occurrences can be saved to
a file.
 | New to this Web search engine are Production and
Inventory reports and file extracts. |
| Also the Capsule and Bibliography Report has direct links
to Assessment Report summaries and Industry web sites (if any). |
