NV Bureau of Mines & Geology

Free

Nevada Bureau of Mines & Geology (NBMG, University of Nevada Reno) — minerals & energy. No-auth ArcGIS REST (gisweb.unr.edu, ArcGIS Server 10.71) covering the previously-uncovered state of Nevada, the #2 US geothermal producer and a leading critical-minerals state. Four point layers: historical oil & gas wells (through 2013), geothermal wells (rich AASG-style schema — operator, status, thermal class, commodity of interest), the Mineral Resources Data System (MRDS, ~15.5K Nevada sites with commodities, deposit type, development status), and critical mineral sites (lithium, tungsten, antimony, rare earths). All geometry returned as WGS84 lon/lat for the map viewer; several upstream string fields are space-padded and are trimmed by the handler. No auth.
