## What is Bedrock?

Bedrock is an independent app and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by the Government of British Columbia or BC Mineral Titles.

Bedrock is the field companion app built for BC free miners — track your mineral and placer claims, log work offline, and generate Physical Work Reports and Technical Reports without the paperwork headache.

KNOW YOUR DEADLINES BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE
Bedrock syncs directly with publicly available BC Mineral Titles data (https://www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content/industry/mineral-exploration-mining/mineral-titles) and notifies you 30, 7, and 1 day before your claim's Good-to-Date expires — and before your Free Miner Certificate lapses.

LOG FIELD WORK IN THE BUSH, NOT AT CAMP
The field journal is 100% offline-first. Log hours, workers, equipment, transportation, food and camping costs, GPS locations, photos, and receipts the moment work happens — no signal required. Everything syncs automatically when you're back in range.

BC GOVERNMENT RATES — CALCULATED AUTOMATICALLY
Work assessment costs are calculated using official BC government rate guidelines published in Information Update No. 8 by BC Mineral Titles:
https://www2.gov.bc.ca/assets/gov/farming-natural-resources-and-industry/mineral-exploration-mining/documents/mineral-titles/notices-mineral-placer-titles/information-updates/info_update_8_new.pdf
Foreman rates, labourer rates, BC Blue Book equipment rates, and transportation caps are applied automatically. You log the hours — Bedrock does the math.

GENERATE REPORTS IN MINUTES
Tap Generate Report. Bedrock turns your field journal into a complete BC Physical Work Report (PDF) and Technical Report (ARIS Schedule A) — ready to upload to MTO (Mineral Titles Online): https://www.mtonline.gov.bc.ca/mtov/home
Report generation happens on our servers, so losing signal mid-way won't cost you your work.

LOG ROCK SAMPLES AND GENERATE A LAB SUBMISSION FORM
Log rock, soil, and stream sediment samples with GPS coordinates, photos, geological descriptions, and target minerals. Export a Bedrock Mineral Sample Submission Form PDF to include with your physical samples when shipping to an assay lab. Log assay results back into Bedrock and they feed directly into your Technical Report.

INVITE YOUR TEAM TO LOG WORK ON YOUR CLAIM
Invite a geo agent, contractor, or co-holder to log journal entries on your claim. They log their hours and field work in Bedrock — you generate the report. Works as a verifiable timesheet for contractors.

WATCH RELEASED CLAIMS AND STRIKE FIRST
Add claims to your watchlist and get notified at 9:59 AM the moment a claim releases — right before the 10:00 AM release window opens. Be first to the map.

THE MAP IS FREE FOR EVERYONE
You don't need an account to browse the BC tenure map. See every active mineral and placer claim in BC, colour-coded by status. Know where claims are before you explore. Claim jumping is theft under the Criminal Code of Canada — Bedrock helps everyone respect the ground.

Bedrock is not affiliated with BC Mineral Titles. MTO remains the authoritative source of record for all mineral titles in BC.
