Before you ask us.

The same data, three places it can land. The viewer puts it in your browser — you open a link and look. WMS draws it onto the map inside your own GIS as imagery. WFS hands you the features themselves — geometry and attributes as data you can query and export.

Most teams start with the viewer because nobody has to install anything, then add WMS or WFS once the GIS people want it in their own projects.

No. It runs in any current browser, on a laptop or in the field on a phone. No plugin, no licence file, no GIS experience — which is the point: the people who need to look at the ground are rarely the people who run the GIS.

WMS is a standard way for a GIS to fetch map imagery from a server. You add one connection URL in ArcGIS, QGIS or MapInfo and our layers appear alongside your own — under your drill collars, over your basemap, wherever you put them in the layer order.

Nothing is copied to your disk, so nothing goes stale. Each time you open the project you are looking at the current dataset.

All three, and anything else that speaks OGC standards. You get a URL and credentials; the connection dialog in each program takes it directly. No plugin to install on the GIS side.

Because it hands over something different. WMS sends a rendered picture of the data — you see it, you cannot take it away. WFS sends the features themselves: geometry and attributes you can store, transform and redistribute.

That is far more valuable, and it is why WFS is priced above WMS rather than bundled with it.

Yes. They are separate products, and a subscription can carry both — the viewer for the wider team, WMS for whoever works inside a GIS. Tell us what mix you need and the quote reflects it.

The Canadian set — mineral claims, regional geology, and the asset points. Exactly what a Canada subscription sees, so you are deciding on the real data rather than on a description of it.

Yes. Coverage is a property of your subscription, not a different product, so extending from Canada to Canada + USA is a change to what you already hold. It applies across the viewer, WMS and WFS at once. Territories outside North America are not part of the catalogue yet.

It is served live rather than shipped as an export, so what you see is what our sources have published. Update cadence differs by dataset — the data page lists it per layer.

Register and you have ten days of access — no card, no call. When the ten days are up, access stops; nothing is charged and nothing renews on its own. You can move to a subscription at any point during the trial without starting over.

Ask us and we quote. Tell us which of the three you need, the ground you work, and how many people — we come back with a written quote for that combination.

Subscriptions run annually.

As many accounts as your subscription covers, with a limit on how many are connected at the same time. Both are set with your subscription, so a team that shares access at different hours needs fewer concurrent seats than people count would suggest. We size it with you.
