This layer contains polygon features that represent granular aggregate deposits in New Brunswick. ‘Granular Aggregate’ is the term used to describe naturally occurring deposits of sand and gravel formed during the last ice-age when glaciers were melting and receding. These important resources, which are used for infrastructure construction and maintenance.

The dataset represents applications for a mining permit. This point dataset is for "regional mines”. Notice of Work (NoW) is the name of the application. Mining activities with disturbance to the ground need approval. Section 10 of the Mines Act issues the authorization or permit. **NOTE**: Administrative amendments to a NoW are not captured in this dataset. We are currently working to include this addition for a more complete view of the data. For proponents, please log into https://minespace.gov.bc.ca/ to confirm any authorizations on your permits. Polygon representation of this dataset can be found here: https://catalogue.data.gov.bc.ca/dataset/c728435d-410e-42f9-81d5-95978c90e44a Point locations within this dataset may be: - Approved and permitted NoW applications The application status field identifies the status of the application. Examples include approved, withdrawn, or rejected, to name a few. Clients submit location information with their application. During review and consultation phases of the application, the permitting inspector may adjust the proposed location. Otherwise, this dataset displays the information submitted by the client. Regional mines include: - Exploration — mineral, coal, rock quarry, industrial mineral or dimension stone - Sand and gravel — aggregate, rock or natural substances used for construction purposes - Placer Part 9.1.1 and 10.1.1 of the Health, Safety and Reclamation Code for Mines in British Columbia describe the requirements. Clients submit location information with their application. This dataset displays the information submitted by the client. Notice of work categories include type and application status: Type - Coal - Mineral - Placer Operations - Quarry – Construction Aggregate - Quarry – Industrial Mineral - Sand and Gravel Application Status - Approved - Client Delayed - Permit Closed - Pending Approval - Government Action Required - Referred - Rejected - Received - Rejected-Initial - No Permit Required - Referral Complete - Withdrawn For the public view, please be aware that the ministry has removed: - All points with now application status of pending verification. - The attributes of all non-open permits - All non-gold and non-jade/nephrite mine commodities
