MINFILE Inventory Database

Mineral Inventory describes the extent and volume of the reserve contained within a mineral deposit described by its referenced MINFILE_File record.  MINFILE contains geological, location and economic information on 15,142 metallic, industrial mineral and coal occurrences in British Columbia. The database is used by government, industry and academia for resource management, land-use planning, exploration and research.

The Inventory 'Reserve' category is used only for an inventory in an operating mine or a mine near production. Ore reserves are reported as Proven, Probable and Possible. The Resource category is used for all other inventories. Resources are reported as Measured, Indicated and Inferred. A combination of categories is reported as Combined. If the category is not known then Unclassified is used. Sample data can be entered using the Assay/Analysis category. The reserves/resources are reported in tonnes with the grade of commodities.

In general, the inventory is identified by occurrence, zone name and year. There may be an unlimited number of ore zones per occurrence. In addition, each zone name may have inventory for each category. Each ore zone can have a maximum of two inventory calculations per year, per category (e.g., Calculation A & B). This allows for changes in calculations due to grade-tonnage relationships; calculation A may be high-grade low tonnage while calculation B may reflect a low-grade tonnage. Generally, only data for the most recent year is maintained in the database. Only one calculation may be used per ore zone in the ASSAY/ANALYSIS category. The ASSAY/ANALYSIS data cannot coexist with reserves information for any given ore zone name.

Oil and Gas Pool Designation Areas (Public Version)

Pool Designation Areas (PDAs) are used to designate the spatial extent within which a geological pool is developed.  The size and shape of a PDA is based on the size and shape of the underlying pool and the boundaries of pool gas spacing units (gsu?s) and/or oil spacing units (osu?s) as represented by Petroleum and Natural Gas (PNG) units. The boundaries of each PDA should align with the units of the PNG grid and may overlap for different pools

Forest Inventory Ground Plots - Public Access

The Forest Analysis and Inventory Branch (FAIB) is responsible for coordinating and managing data collection and analyses from a range of different ground sampling programs that collect data on ground plots. This layer shows ground plots from the PSP and VRI programs.

**Vegetation Resource Inventory (VRI):** ground samples primarily used to audit and verify key inventory attributes estimated during photo interpretation. These samples are not protected because they will not be revisited. 

**Permanent Sample Plots (PSP):**  subjectively located fixed-area permanent plots, valued for their long-term re-measurement data to support development of growth-and-yield models in unmanaged stands across a range of stand and ecosystem types. Actual GPS coordinates are provided as protection is necessary. 
- Active PSPs = plot and buffer are protected from harvesting 
- Inactive PSPs = not protected from harvesting

Growth and Yield Plots - Active Status

This layer is the authoritative source for locating Active Status Growth and Yield plots also known as Permanent Sample Plots (PSPs). These plots are protected and require an additional minimum windfirm buffer of 50m radius in the interior and 100m radius on the coast. These plots are generally 16m radius fixed area plots. Therefore, protected areas need to be a minimum of 66m radius around the plot centre in the interior and 116m radius on the coast. Best practices are to locate the plot centre on the ground as coordinate accuracy varies. 

The program now maintains partially damaged plots in order to provide critical data on how partially damaged plots grow over time. Therefore, salvage logging is NOT permitted within protected plots. 

Please contact Anya Reid (Anya.Reid@gov.bc.ca) with questions or updated coordinates for plots. 

NOTE: Accuracy of the coordinates are variable. Coordinates for plots with a more recent (since 2000) last measurement are generally quite accurate (3m). However, plots measured in the 1990's have a wide range of coordinate accuracy. In all cases, it is necessary to ground truth plot location before block layout. In this spatial layer, low accuracy coordinates are buffered 300m to ensure they do not get missed from development planning. 

This layer replaces the [Growth and Yield Samples – Active Status](https://catalogue.data.gov.bc.ca/dataset/0ca49478-5d0f-44e8-b6af-3fd6e387803c) layer with more accurate and current information from the Inventory Sample Management Consolidation (ISMC) database.

Walk-in Clinics in BC

Programs in BC that provide walk-in treatment services for people who have minor illnesses or injuries that do not require a visit to a hospital emergency department or an urgent care facility. These programs are generally specialized practices set up by groups of physicians operating within the provincial-territorial heath system who are available for patients that do not have family physicians or who need medical treatment and-or diagnosis at times when their family physician is not available. In some areas, a walk-in clinic may rotate between the clinics of different physicians. Some programs, mainly in major metropolitan areas, may operate on a 24-hour basis but all tend to be open for some or all evenings and weekends.

NGO Conservation Areas - Fee Simple

The __NGO Conservation Areas - Fee Simple__ dataset contains spatial and attribute information for non-governmental organization (NGO) conservation areas in BC. Fee simple NGO conservation areas are private conservation lands owned by non-government organizations and managed for wildlife habitat conservation values. Overlap between this dataset and the provincial [__Conservation Lands__](https://catalogue.data.gov.bc.ca/dataset/conservation-lands) and [__BC Parks, Ecological Reserves and Protected Areas__](https://catalogue.data.gov.bc.ca/dataset/bc-parks-ecological-reserves-and-protected-areas) layers will occur where NGO lands have been leased to the province. Discrepancies between the provincial layers and this dataset are due to differing source cadastral information. Spatial boundaries were sourced primarily from Integrated Cadastral Information Society (ICI Society) data. This spatial layer contains multipart polygons.

A [__Conservation Cross Reference Table__](https://catalogue.data.gov.bc.ca/dataset/db6d4e9d-aa20-4682-9e43-ad6ae52f4466) provides a link between this dataset and the provincial [__Conservation Lands__](https://catalogue.data.gov.bc.ca/dataset/conservation-lands). The CIP_PCL field in this dataset links to the Conservation_Land_ID field in the provincial [__Conservation Lands__](https://catalogue.data.gov.bc.ca/dataset/conservation-lands) dataset.
