Collecting Mineral Data
Image
In 2021, the Alberta Geological Survey, Alberta Energy Regulator, and Government of Alberta partnered to undertake one of the largest geological and geophysical data collection projects in Alberta’s history. This collaboration is part of a multi-year mineral mapping program that includes collecting and publicly releasing raw data, interactive maps, technical reports, journal publications, and giving public presentations. The data will help provide critical information for
- making regulatory decisions regarding mineral applications,
- conducting operations related to minerals,
- increasing knowledge of research institutions, and
- supporting all Albertans in understanding minerals and how development might impact them.
