The purpose of Post is to explain how the changes to Download area for Tenements will affect the “Download Tenements” App provided to you in the GeoMap Training or at Gold Prospecting WA Seminars. It also explains How you can get and use the Download Tenements EXE file to use on your PC.
Important Caveat about the Download Tenements App
Please note: The Download Tenements APP will NOT work for you unless you have the standard folder and files setup we teach in our Gold Prospecting Seminars, on the Geomap Training Site or at our Free training at Seminars and with our APLA Free Training.
If you do not have that simplified Files and Folders setup on your PC this information will not be relevant to you.
Simplification and Standardisation of the “Downloading Tenements” Process for Users – Some Background Information
In order to simplify the process of downloading tenements for people to use GeoMap, we have a standard folder and files system that we set up and populate with data on their laptops, including standard Master Projects and created a “Download Tenements” APP that; (if the user is connected to the internet)
- Links to the DMIRS data and Software system,
- Finds the correct download shapefiles for Mining Lease Tenements,
- Downloads the File and inserts it to the correct Standard Folder in C:/ Drive , (C:/GeoMapData/Tenements/tenements.*)
- Unzips the files in the correct folder.
- Projects are created where the Tenements data is pointed to in this folder.
- When the Project is opened next it has the updated tenements included.
Then, when any project is opened such as the “Master” Projects and Projects that people have created, the project automatically adds the latest files that the user has downloaded and inserts those tenements into all their Projects.
This ensures that “Up to Date” tenements are always displayed on the users GeoMap projects – provided they have clicked on the download tenements APP.

I click on the link and what is delivered to drop box is an icon of a bit of paper with corner bent over then written beside it is; unconfirmed454665.crdownload Ihave tried several times and the only thing that changes is the 6 digit number. I have updated windows and still the same. What can I try.

That is apparently a partial download that has been interrupted for whatever reason in Google Chrome. unconfirmednnnnn.crdownload
So it will need to be clicked on and resumed as a download or deleted and started again.
I would also update your chrome browser in case there is a issue with that or a bug.
Here is a video that explains it more.
