The Legend Window is organized into themes. Look for the geology, mineral occurrence, ARIS and mineral title layers at the bottom of the legend window. Administrative layers are at the top. Topographic layers, including TRIM, are in the middle of the legend window.  Two sets of Mineral Potential layers are available, a shaded version above the geology layers and a solid version below the geology layers.

The aggregate potential layers are located above the geology layers in the legend. Aggregate pit layers for the Okanagan, Nanaimo, Sea-to-Sky, Sunshine Coast and North coast areas are located below the mineral inventory layers in the legend. Photos of Sea-to-Sky aggregate pits are available, mainly in the north part of the study area.  Reports and photos of Sunshine Coast aggregate pits are available for most of the pits.  To view the reports or photos, use the select tool and double click if a hand shows while on the pit symbol.  Links to the Aggregate Projects and downloads are available in the PopUp Menu on the Map.

November 29, 2005: Link to Lower Mainland Construction Aggregates  Demand Study added to Aggregate Project Home Page. Construction Aggregate Operations in BC download added to Aggregate Download page.

September 29, 2005: Link to Northeast BC Aggregate Mapping Program and view the SVG Version of the Interactive Aggregate Occurrence Map which displays all aggregate showings, prospects and deposits identified in the NTS map areas 94I, J, O, and P.  A similar interactive aggregate occurrence map for NTS map areas 94A, B, G, H and 93I/north and P is under construction.

April 27, 2005: Added Aggregate Tenures layer located in the Aggregate Pits Group.  Data is from the Land and Resource Data Warehouse.  This layer is current as of April 27, 2005.

April 14, 2005: Added GSC Surficial Geology layer (1:5M) from Surficial materials of Canada, Fulton, R.J.; Geological Survey of Canada, "A" Series Map 1880A, 1995.  Reproduced with the permission of the Minister of Public Works and Government Services Canada, 2005 and courtesy of Natural Resources Canada, Geological Survey of Canada.
