AGE

Age
Geochronology

NOM_ABRG_ETQT_LITH

NOM_CANT_SEIGN

Township/seigneury
The spelling of the names of seigniories originates from the maps produced by the Service des titres d'exploration of the MRN, and the spelling of the townships from the Répertoire toponymique du Québec. When a document covers more than 20 adjacent seigniories and townships, the field is left blank during the indexing and only the sheet slices of the NTS map-sheets are indicated. Most of the mineral exploration files are located on township maps when townships are present on the territory which is the subject of the report. However, north of the 50th parallel, since named townships (replaced by non-surveyed numerical townships) are virtually non-existent, you will than have to refer exclusively to the sheet slices of the NTS map-sheets on a 1:50 000 scale. As for the Géologie Québec geoscientific publications collection, it is recommended to use only the sheet slices of the NTS map-sheets to locate documents relating to a given territory.

NOM_COMP

Company author
Searches can be conducted by the author company. This can be defined as a company which offered its services to perform the exploration work or to write reports. The use of the value list is strongly recommended in this case, as it sometimes happens that the name of a single company is indexed in several different ways. For example: Exploration inc. or Explorations ltée. A search by author company is more suitable when the research concerns documents related to mining exploration files than in the case of Géologie Québec publications, whose author company is always the same, namely «MRN». Please take note that the property owner's name will not automatically be entered in the «Company author» field.

NOM_CORPS_MINR

Name of the ore body as part of a mineralized zone. By default, if the ore zone has a single ore body, the body name matches the zone name.

NOM_DETN

Name document holder
The property owner only applies to mineral exploration files. It is important to note that this information is not updated in the years that follow. Therefore, a mineral exploration file submitted to the Ministère ten years ago will always remain associated, in the Examine data base, to the owner of the mining property at the time the report was filed. One must therefore be aware that the owner refers to the year corresponding to the report. A property can belong to one or more individuals and/or one or more companies. All owners are indexed. Individual owners are identified by their surname only, in front of which the word «claims» is inscribed. For example, the owner Claude Bonneau will have «claims Bonneau» inscribed after his name. Please take note that the the property owner's name is not usually shown in the «Individual author» or «Company author» fields.

NOTE_LOCL_DOCM_1

Location note
Details of the location allow one to more accurately locate the works of the mineral exploration files. It does not concern the Géologie Québec publications.

Searches can be conducted by rank in the case of the surveyed townships, where rank numbers are written in Roman numerals. For example: RANK VI.

Searches can also be conducted by parcel in the case of the non-surveyed townships. The parcels are numbered in the same order as the NTS map-sheet subdivisions. For instance : P5. In the case of the mineral exploration files concerning the territory located north of the 50th parallel where townships are not always identified and where the perimeters of the work must be located on a map-sheet at a 1:50 000 scale, parcels are used to specify the location of the work. Therefore, each map-sheet at a 1:50 000 scale is subdivided into 16 equal parts (parcels) numbered from 1 to 16 according to the same order as the townships. It should be noted that files dating back before report number GM 37450 do not always include location particulars.

Two main standard map scales are available from the National Topographic System of Canada (NTS). One being the 1 :50 000 scale, which can be identified as 32D06, 22B01, etc. In SIGÉOM à la carte, the map scales to which all the data is georeferenced are the 1:50 000 and 1:250 000 scales. Whenever data was symbolised in the SIGÉOM at the 1 : 20 000 scale, it is now available at 1:50 000 scale.

As for Examine documents (and surveys), reports are generally linked to a 1:50 000 NTS map-sheet. In cases, where a document covers a large part of the province, no link will be made to a NTS map-sheet as the list of NTS maps would be too long. It is therefore recommended to use the «NTS map-sheet number» field instead of the «Township/seigneury» or «Location note» fields.

Reference
The reports identified in the Examine database are filed in two large collections: the Géologie Québec geoscientific publications (Ministère des Ressources naturelles du Québec) and the reports of the mineral exploration files.

The Géologie Québec publications are classified into several series according to their content and presentation. The publication numbers of the Ministère begin with the code of the series to which they belong. For example: RG 125, DP-89-01. Certain publication numbers will be identified at the end by the code (A) to indicate that this report is an English version. This code was added to a series of 800 documents that were drafted in French and English versions but that had no separate report number. For example: RG 100 consitutes the French version while RG100(A) corresponds to the English version of the same report. Also note that the code (A) is not systematically affixed on all the report numbers in an English version. The recent English versions of reports have their own report number. For example DV 99-01 Rapport sur les activités d'exploration minière au Québec and DV 99-02 Report on mineral exploration activities in Québec.

The mineral exploration files are reports presented to the Ministère des Ressources naturelles by companies or individuals performing exploration work on the Québec territory under the Mining Act. The number assigned to mineral exploration files takes the form of GM XXXXX. For example: GM 00008, GM 39110, etc. Certain files prior to GM 37450 contain a suffix letter. For example: GM 23119-A, GM 23119-B, etc.

The lithologic summary is a very brief summary of the principal lithologies of diamond drilling. A general search can be carried out by using the principal codes, which are :The character string is made up of a series of names of rocks that can be interspersed with descriptive codes or texture/structure codes. The codes of the rock names are separated by hyphens « - » or slashes « / ». Each descriptive code is delimited by a pair of parentheses «( )» and is placed next to the rock name. As for the texture/structure codes, they are delimited by a pair of brackets «[ ]» and are placed next to the rock names or to each other, without a space.

Title status
A mining title can be active (A), abandoned (B), converted (C), Expired / due (E), On application (D), suspended (S), in reference (K), In dispute (L), Renewal refusal (N), Revoked (R) Refused (U), Conversion refusal (V), Withdrawal (Z), Conversion application (Y).

STR_NO_SEQ

Stratigraphic unit
Corresponds to the stratigraphic label of a stratigraphic unit which is also found in the SIGÉOM interactive map and in the Lexique Stratigraphique du Québec. This label is composed of the abbreviation of the age of the unit in square brackets, followed by two to three letters allowing the stratigraphic unit to be identified. For example, the stratigraphic label for the Paleoproterozoic Chukotat Group is [ppro]ch.

VOLM_EXTR

Volume extracted
This item of data allows one to specify the volume extracted from a deposit or quarry. The volume of extracted material is assessed based on the visual estimate of the area of the quarry and of the average height of the faces observed during the field trip. The volume is expressed in cubic metres (m3). It does not correspond to the total production of stone sold. The character 1 is recorded in the field when the volume extracted is unknown or not estimated.
