Mineral Resources Branch maps and publications are numbered by year or given a three digit number:
e. g. Map ME 2000-001, Bulletin ME 005, Memoir ME 010, Open File Report ME 655
-
The zeros ensure proper sorting by Document Number and must be used in the Document Number search window. A three digit number must always be entered, whether it is a straight three digit number (e. g. Bulletin ME 005, Memoir ME 010, OFR ME 655) or part of a year-related number (e. g. Map ME 2000-001)
-
The ME is used internally in DNR to distinguish Mineral Resources Branch documents from documents produced by other branches within DNR (e. g. Forestry)
- Do not include the ME in the document number when entering a value in the Document Number search window
-
Enter your number in the Document Number search window
e. g. 005, 010, 655, 2000-001
-
Your search is executed when you click the Search and Display button
-
Document Numbers may not be unique to one document. For example, the number 2000-1 can be found as Map ME 2000-1 or as Report ME 2000-1. As a result, a search of Document Number may return more than 1 hit. It is best to search Document Number AND Document Type, the combination of which will return a unique hit:
e. g. Map ME 2000-001, Bulletin ME 005, Memoir ME 012
-
You can do OR search using the | symbol in the Document Number field:
e. g. 005|655 will find all documents containing these document numbers
-
You cannot do AND searches in the Document Number field:
e. g. 005&655 will not work
Old Assessment Report Numbers
Before 1980, assessment reports were numbered in the following format: 11E/03D 06-D-42(02). If you wish to search for an old assessment report number in the Document Number field, type in the number exactly as shown above. Leave a space between the 11E/03D and the 06, and use the minus(hypen) symbol between 06 and D, and D and 42.
