Mineral titles
What this map showsi
Share of the land under a mineral, placer or coal title
The strongest colour is about the top tenth of places with a figure; the fainter ones hold about the next 15%, 20% and 25%, and the faintest about the lowest 30%. Places with the same figure share a colour, so a group can hold a little more or less. Measures that take only a few values, poor-air days and hardiness zones, are grouped by fixed classes instead, marked on the bar at their edges. Places with no figure, or too small a base to rank, are left uncoloured. Lot lines are the province's open parcel map (ParcelMap BC): it shows titled lots and most Crown parcels, and its sizes are mapped, not surveyed.

Top of the ranking
All 219 places
Under each place, its largest company holders and their share of its land under title, on the Province's record as of October 29, 2026; a holder's share counts titles it shares, and titles lying over another's, so the shares can add to more than 100%. Anyone else holding a title is counted, never named.
Each share covers the place's whole land area, so no place is too small to rank. The land area beside it shows how much ground the share covers: a small town's high share can be a few square kilometres.
Beside each figure: land under title, of the place's land area.
