Searching the Saskatchewan Mineral Assessment Database (SMAD)
The Saskatchewan Mineral Assessment Database is an integrated searchable database of non-confidential mineral assessment files submitted in compliance with The Mineral Disposition Regulations.
The SMAD program allows for the search of Mineral Assessment Files by Text or Map search and the ability to view or download digital copies of the files. This may include PDF files or other files that may require more specialized programs.
As new digital mineral assessment files come off-confidential, they will be added to the online database and will be available to download or view.

Helpful Information
Historic mineral assessment files are identified geographically using the National Topographic System (NTS), followed by a file number. This does not mean, however, that files do not fall into other map sheets.
E.g. 63L06-0004
(NTS-File Number)
MAP Search
This tab takes you directly to the Saskatchewan Mining and Petroleum GeoAtlas. To turn layers on or off, go to the Layers tab once the page has loaded. Mineral Exploration contains Mineral Assessment Files categorized by type: airborne, ground or underground surveys.
Digital Data
Digital data is broken into four categories: Reports, Digital Submissions, Maps and Figures and Sections, and Miscellaneous Information. Individual files or All can be selected for viewing or zipping for download.
If files are zipped for download, a file name will be attached (e.g. MAOC_74H-0008_All_2008-05-13_04-31-49.zip) for download under the ZIP REQUESTS tab.
