This data set represents the digital Mineral Resource potential of the Province of Saskatchewan. This dataset represents the mineral resource potential of Saskatchewan. Methodologies used to determine a ranking system of low to high mineral potential areas. 6 being high mineral potential while 1 being low. The data was created as a file geodatabase feature class and output for public distribution. **Please Note – All published Saskatchewan Geological Survey datasets, including those available through the Saskatchewan Mining and Petroleum GeoAtlas, are sourced from the Enterprise GIS Data Warehouse.  They are therefore identical and share the same refresh schedule. 

GEO - Geological and geophysical (geoscientificInformation)The earth sciences. For example, resources describing geophysical features and processes; minerals; the composition, structure, and origin of the earths rocks; earthquakes; volcanic activity; landslides; gravity information; soils; permafrost; hydrogeology; and erosion

The boundaries of each grid section are defined by latitude and longitude. Each grid section is 1 minute of latitude (approximately 1.8 km) by 1.5 minutes of longitude (approximately 1.9 km).
