Two fair questions, straight answers.

Most of the raw data is public, and you can fetch it yourself: twelve provincial and territorial registries, federal records in the United States, each with its own format, its own refresh, its own quirks. We do that fetching on a schedule — every week for Canadian claims, every month for US claims — harmonize it into one model, and serve it live into QGIS, ArcGIS, MapInfo or a browser. You pay for the stitching and the currency, not for the data. If you have the time to stitch it yourself, the government sites are the right answer.

Because an exploration team's question is where to work next. That takes the ground itself — claims, property outlines, mining assets and geology — current, and inside the GIS where you already plan your programs, next to your own drilling and geochemistry. That is what we build, and all we build. It connects to ArcGIS, QGIS or MapInfo over open standards, Canadian claims are refreshed every week, and you pay for the territory you work and the people connected at once.
