How parcels are matched

1. Rights. The parcel's rights, as worded in the Crown's offering notice, include the Muskwa. Rights descriptions are placed on the Crown's stratigraphic zone order (each notice lists a depth code for the zones it names), so “below the base of the Doig to basement” includes the Montney while “surface to the top of the Montney” does not, and “excepting” lines are removed.

2. Area. The parcel touches the Alberta Geological Survey's evaluated area for the Muskwa (AER/AGS Digital Dataset 2013-0024), shown as the solid outline on the map below.

Most Crown parcels are sold “surface to basement”, so these are parcels that convey Muskwa rights, not necessarily parcels bought for the Muskwa.
