8. Bibliography (*) (C09)
Online help is also available from the MINFILE/www online coding card.
The MINFILE bibliography is intended to identify all significant references for a deposit. References may be typed or use 'copy and paste' to input text into this field. In general, references are to be quoted in summary format, identifying publication, year and page. References of particular value in identifying or describing a deposit should be marked with an asterisk (*).
Standard referencing techniques should be used for publications or references which are not included in the list of abbreviations below or which do not fit in a summary format. When listing the appropriate references, the coding geologist should attempt to list them in the same order as outlined in the listing of abbreviated codes. If more than one line is required for a reference or list of similar references, then indent the second line and subsequent lines by 3 characters.
|
Example of a standard reference:
Price, R.A. (1962): Fernie Map-area, East Half, Alberta and British Columbia, Geological Survey of Canada, Paper 61-24.
The corresponding MINFILE abbreviated reference is:
"GSC P 61-24" |
"Property File" alone is not identified as a reference. The specific document used should be identified as the reference source and should be listed under the heading of "EMPR PF" which indicates that this item is found within the Ministry's Property File. Each item in the list is separated by a semicolon.
|
For example:
EMPR PF (Total Energold Ltd., Annual Report, 1989; Cassiar Mining Corp., maps and notes, 1987). |
The following formats should be followed in coding references:
-
List references in the same order as the listing of abbreviated codes.
-
All reference abbreviations must be in upper case letters.
-
All older versions of Ministry names should appear as "EMPR".
-
Two or more similar references should be joined, e.g., GSC MEM 217, p. 118 and
GSC MEM 110 should be: GSC MEM 110; 217, p. 118.
-
Order of references should be lowest number to highest or earliest date to present.
-
Lists of references are separated by a semicolon (;) except for EMPR Assessment
Reports which are separated by commas.
-
An asterisk (*) should identify important references and should be placed before the
number, year or name not at the beginning, e.g., EMPR ASS RPT 10172, *12470,
13131 and, EMPR AR *1901-13; 1914-98; *1936-45 GSC P 31; *45, p. 10.
-
Property File references contain information in brackets. e.g., EMPR PF (Smith, B.J.
(1939)......).
-
Page numbers should follow the main reference separated by a comma e.g., EMPR
OF 1987, p. 35 and GSC BULL, pp. 35-107.
-
The following exceptions use hyphens rather than page designations due to the
volume of references, e.g., EMPR EXPL 1977-33, EMPR GEM 1981-252, and EMPR
AR 1900-122; 1901-383.
A listing of abbreviated codes for selected publications commonly referred to in MINFILE is as follows:
EM (Ministry of Energy and Mines) is now EMPR (Ministry of Energy, Mines and Petroleum Resources) since June 2005.
