Abstract

This digital data release contains a targeted subset of mineral occurrences from the Mineral Occurrences of Alberta dataset (AGS Digital Data 2025-0009), focusing on selected producers, past producers, and exploration projects deemed significant in scope and development. These occurrences are chosen for their current or historical ore-grade extraction, or advanced stage mineral exploration. Producers are defined as active sites extracting ore-grade material—such as mines, quarries, solution wells, plants, and industrial pits. Past producers refer to sites where ore-grade material has historically been extracted. Featured exploration projects are those with advanced development, active mineral agreements, and substantial geological data. Projects were updated in early 2025 through permit verification and company research, ensuring accuracy and relevance. The selection was made to support high-level visualization on the Minerals of Alberta map, with a tabulated overview provided for reference. All listed occurrences remain part of the comprehensive provincial dataset, which offers additional context and technical details. Mineral occurrences are compiled from a variety of sources including government reports, government data, mineral assessment reports, and technical industry reports.

This work was completed under the Mineral Grant provided by the Government of Alberta on June 22, 2021.
