This Mineral Occurrence Database (MODB) is a computer-based inventory of metallic and industrial mineral occurrences. For our purposes, a mineral occurrence is defined as any location where a naturally-occurring concentration of a mineral(s), rock or surficial material is found that occurs in a concentration above the norm such that it may be of interest to the Departments varied clientele. We realize that what is a &amp;quot;normal concentration&amp;quot; is a subjective term and prone to individual interpretation. It is our intention to include as occurrences any location where factors occur that would be of interest to the mineral exploration industry or our other clients including geotechnical professionals, mineral and rock collectors, naturalists, the construction industry and the general public.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;font color='#000000' size='3' style='background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next W01&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;Avenir Next W00&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Avenir, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif !important;'&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;p style='margin: 6pt 0cm; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next W01&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;Avenir Next W00&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Avenir, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; background: white; line-height: normal;'&gt;&lt;span style='font-family: Arial, sans-serif; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-size: 10pt;'&gt;Mineral occurrences would include:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;font color='#000000' size='3' style='background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next W01&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;Avenir Next W00&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Avenir, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif !important;'&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;font color='#000000' size='3' style='font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next W01&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;Avenir Next W00&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Avenir, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif !important;'&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style='font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;'&gt;mineral occurrences sensu stricto (i.e. ranging from small concentrations of a mineral(s) up to well defined and mineable mineral deposits;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;font color='#000000' size='3' style='font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next W01&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;Avenir Next W00&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Avenir, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif !important;'&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style='font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;'&gt;locations of a seemingly non-economic mineral commodity that may be an indication of the presence of another commodity of economic interest (e.g. a location of well developed sericite alteration suggesting the nearby presence of other commodities of more economic value);&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;font color='#000000' size='3' style='font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next W01&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;Avenir Next W00&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Avenir, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif !important;'&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style='font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;'&gt;sub-surface mineralization intersected by diamond-drilling;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;font color='#000000' size='3' style='font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next W01&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;Avenir Next W00&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Avenir, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif !important;'&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style='font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;'&gt;occurrences of mineralized boulders, glacial till, soil or other surficial material containing mineralization.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;font color='#000000' size='3' style='font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next W01&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;Avenir Next W00&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Avenir, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif !important;'&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;font color='#000000' size='3' style='background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next W01&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;Avenir Next W00&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Avenir, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif !important;'&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;p style='margin: 6pt 0cm; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next W01&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;Avenir Next W00&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Avenir, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; background: white; line-height: normal;'&gt;&lt;span style='font-family: Arial, sans-serif; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-size: 10pt;'&gt;The Mineral Occurrence Database contains information for upwards of 3,000 mineral occurrences but it must be stressed that this does not represent all of the known mineral occurrences in the province.
