MTA - Mineral Mining Divisions with Codes

Administrative boundaries called mining divisions were once used for recording claims. This information is now historic. This dataset contains the codes for each of the 24 mining division. For example, 1=ALBERNI, 2=ATLIN, 3=CARIBOO, 4=CLINTON, 5=FORT STEELE.

These boundaries are no longer used for current administration. Mining division is needed when submitting the title page for your Technical Work Report. 
More information on ARIS Reports (https://www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content/industry/mineral-exploration-mining/british-columbia-geological-survey/assessmentreports/submissionmineral). They can also be used to reference historical records.

TANTALIS - Acquisitions

This feature is a parcel of land  procured  by the Crown. It results in title or administration being transferred from the former owner to the Crown. Tantalis is an information system designed specifically for the needs of the complex workings of Crown Land Registry and to provide automated support for all aspects of Crown land administration. It was designed to provide a foundation for integrating spatial data associated with mapping of survey plans and administrative boundaries with attribute data associated with legal documents and administrative records. The system records and tracks the sale, survey, license, access, return, and restriction of Crown land in British Columbia. This new system introduced the capacity for further applications, to revolutionize access and processing of Crown land information

Bathymetric Maps of Surveyed Lakes

Lakes represented in this layer are those which have georeferenced digital bathymetric (depth) data available for them. 
Each lake depicted in this bathymetric map layer has been digitized and georeferenced and has intelligent contour polygons created for it.  These polygons depict contour depths - with each polygon representing the extent of a horizontal ‘slice’ though the lake at a particular depth. These contour polygons include the lake surface (value 0 metres) with additional depth polygons representing increasing water depths. 

This layer is different from the Lake Bathymetric Maps layer [WHSE_FISH.BATH_SURVEY_MAP_SHEETS_SVW](https://catalogue.data.gov.bc.ca/dataset/bathymetric-maps) in that the lakes shown in the Lake Bathymetric Maps layer are ones which have had a (typically hand-drafted) hardcopy bathymetric created for them.  Those maps have then been scanned and are presented in that layer as PDF files which are linked to the BC Freshwater Atlas polygon for the corresponding lake.

Recreational Opportunity Spectrum Inventory

The ROS Inventory characterizes and represents recreation opportunities as mixes or combinations of settings and probable experience opportunities arranged along a continuum or spectrum of ROS classes. The spectrum is set out in terms of seven ROS classes as follows: Primitive (P), Semi-primitive Non-motorized (SPNM), Semi-primitive Motorized (SPM), Roaded Natural (RN), Roaded Modified (RM), Rural (R), Urban (U)

Silviculture Investments

This spatial layer is based on RESULTS silviculture activity reporting and describes government-funded stand-tending treatments intended as investments (fertilization, juvenile spacing, pruning and commercial thinning) carried out province-wide since 2011.  The objective of the layer is to help ensure that treated stands are not harvested prematurely before the return on investment is realized. This product is intended to help licensees and other stakeholders plan harvest locations in a way that optimizes the province’s silvicultural investments-- whether that means protecting a treated area from harvest until the treatment objectives are met, or harvesting a treated stand to realize the benefits of the investment. Refer to the Chief Forester’s Expectations for Optimization of Silvicultural Investments document for more information on how to use this layer.

MINFILE Production Database

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.

Production is linked by the MINFILE Number, and information such as production year. Information on either ore mined (in tonnes) or ore milled (in tonnes) are captured. Commodity production is entered with precious metals quoted in grams and base metals or other commodities quoted in kilograms. If there are no figures for tonnes milled the field will be blank.  Comments are added to clarify information reported in the production field for any given year.  Historic production records are provided by the Mines and Minerals Division of the Ministry of Energy, Mines and Petroleum Resources.
