Description:
The Solid Non-energy Leasable (SNEL) minerals data set was generated using records extracted from BLM’s LR2000 case record database. The record selection criteria specified authorized and pending prospecting permits, preference right leases, exploration leases, competitive leases, noncompetitive leases and use permits for the following commodities:(1) Phosphate (pho) (2) Sodium (sod) (3) Potassium (pot) (4) Sulfur (sul) (5) Gilsonite (gil) (6) Hardrock minerals (hdr) The three-character category codes shown above in parentheses can be used to easily select subsets of records based on the commodity. This data set has been projected to the UTM13N/NAD83 coordinate system.Shapefile Format -To illustrate Solid Non-Energy Leasable Minerals for the State of ColoradoError Records: There are typically some LR2000 records for which we are not able to generate corresponding polygons, but in this case all of the selected land descriptions were successfully converted to GIS features.
