Abandoned Mine Openings (AMO) Database Search Interface

A new search interface has been developed for the Abandoned Mine Openings Database that allows clients to search the database online through an internet browser using a number of defined attributes, and produce a report of the selected mine openings they are interested in. The search interface has a similar look and mode of operation to the search interfaces that already exist for the online searching of the NovaScan Publications and Maps Database and the Mineral Occurrence Database.

The search interface for the Abandoned Mine Openings Database can be accessed from the Mineral Resources Branch Home Page (http://www.gov.ns.ca/natr/meb) by clicking on the keywords Abandoned Mines or Databases in the left hand column, or directly from the following address: http://www.gov.ns.ca/natr/meb/links/amolinks.asp (Posted June 16, 2010).

Nova Scotia Groundwater Maps and Databases Internet Map Server (IMS), Version 3

The Nova Scotia Groundwater Maps and Databases IMS can be accessed at http://gis4.natr.gov.ns.ca/website/nsgroundwater (Posted June 15, 2010.)
