ARIS Data Download Request
Before downloading the Assessment Report/ARIS data please ensure that you have at least 20 megabytes of hard drive space available.   There is no charge for downloading the ARIS data.  Please read the installation information below and readme file for ARIS data.

Note that the ARIS data is a brief summary (or index) on each mineral assessment report approved. This data is posted annually with a November cut-off date.  It is an enhanced digital version of the Assessment Report Index on paper (no longer published for sale - which consists of 4 volumes and a 5-year supplement).  The downloadable digitial version also includes the following fields for approved assessment reports: commodities searched for, summary work codes and keywords.

Note that the Ministry does not handle the sale of Assessment Report photocopies; if you wish to purchase photocopies of the assessment reports, please visit the Association for Mineral Exploration website or email them at info@amebc.ca.  Due to high production costs and low sales, Assessment Report Index products are no longer published on paper.  They are only available by downloading the ARIS data or performing searches on the ARIS/WWW database.
