About

SGS MinFinder puts British Columbia's entire MINFILE mineral inventory in your pocket - and keeps it working when the cell signal doesn't. 16,000+ OCCURRENCES, FULLY OFFLINE Every MINFILE occurrence is bundled in the app in a local database. Browse, search, and filter the whole province with no data connection. Pre-download topographic map tiles for the area you're heading to and the basemap works offline too. BUILT FOR THE FIELD - Map every occurrence across BC, clustered so the big picture is instantly clear. - Filter by status - Producer, Past Producer, Developed Prospect, Prospect, Showing, Anomaly - each colour-coded on the map. - Search by name or MINFILE number and fly straight to any site. - Real topographic basemaps from Esri so terrain, contours, and access roads are right there. THE FULL GEOLOGICAL RECORD Tap any occurrence for the official details: status, host rock, deposit class, elevation, latitude/longitude (decimal and DMS), and UTM coordinates in both NAD27 and NAD83. One tap opens the official BC MINFILE record online. NAVIGATE TO THE SITE (Premium) A live compass dial with real-time bearing and distance guides you to the exact occurrence - no trail required. DOWNLOAD YOUR REGION BEFORE YOU GO Draw a box around any area and cache its topographic tiles for offline use. Manage, reopen, or clear your downloaded regions any time. PREMIUM A one-time or subscription purchase unlocks compass navigation and the full expanded occurrence details. The map, search, filtering, and offline region downloads are free.

What's New in SGS MinFinder

1.0.1

August 1, 2026

Offline maps • Fixed a crash that could occur while downloading an offline map region. • Tap a saved region to see exactly which area it covers, outlined on the map. • The estimated tile count in the region picker is now accurate. It previously read about four times lower than the number of tiles actually downloaded. • Tidier region list: the saved-region cards are more compact. Map • Individual occurrence markers are back to their original size, so single showings are easier to pick out from clusters. About • The marker legend now doubles as a glossary — tap any status to read what that MINFILE classification means. • Added a direct link to the BC MINFILE database, full basemap attribution, and a note clarifying that SGS MinFinder is an independent app. • Corrected the map engine credit. Elsewhere • New app icon, and the splash screen now fades into the map. • Removed a physical-activity permission the app never needed.
