Searching the Saskatchewan Mineral Deposit Index

The Mineral Deposit Index is searchable by:

  • SMDI Number
  • Showing Name
  • Commodity
  • NTS Sheet
  • TRM (Township-Range-Meridian)
  • Indicator Rock/Mineral
  • Discovery Type
  • Status
  • Geological Domain
  • Host Mineral
  • Presence of Production data
  • Presence of Reserve and/or Resource data

The showing name search parameter refers to a common reference name that has been given to the deposit. For example, "Upper Phelps Lake Au showing" may be found by specifying "Upper" or "Phelps Lake." Avoid the use of unqualified words such as "Lake" or "Showing" in searches, as many matching entries will exist.

Search parameters take the form of either text entry fields or drop-down lists. Please note that some parameters search via a Contains clause (partial text match) and some search via an Equals clause (exact text match).

The Saskatchewan Mineral Deposit Index (SMDI) is maintained by the Ministry of Energy and Resources.
