Abstract
This digital product is developed from a database of mineral
rights information for the province of Nova Scotia.
The database is maintained by the Nova Scotia Department
of Natural Resources (NSDNR), Mineral Resources Branch
(MRB). The digital product was created by the NSDNR
MRB staff. The digital product was developed from information
contained in the Mineral Rights Registry database which
is also publically available on the Claim reference
maps maintained in the Registry office in Halifax. The
digital product contains layers for entities such as:
exploration licences, mining leases, mining permits,
mineral closures, gas storage exploration permits, special
licences for coal, special licences for salt and potash,
special licences for geothermal resources, special licences
for uranium and special licences for all minerals. Beginning
with Version 7 of the database, all data is in
the 6 degree Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) zone
20 projection using the North American Datum (NAD) 1983.
This is a change from versions 1 - 6 which were in NAD27.
