The Pro-Baker: Real-Time Mineral Claim API

How we bridge the gap between messy government databases and actionable field intel.

In the gold game, information is as valuable as the metal itself. Traditionally, finding active mining permits meant wrestling with archaic government GIS systems that look like they were designed in the dial-up era. At Paystreak Global, we've solved this with the Pro-Baker: a proprietary layer that "bakes" raw data into clean, visual intelligence.

1. The Raw Data Problem

Whether it's the BLM MLRS in the United States, NZPAM in New Zealand, or MinView in Australia, every territory has its own way of storing mineral tenure. The data is often buried in fragmented JSON APIs, static CSV extracts, or—worst of all—server-side rendered tables.

The Extraction Logic

// Conceptual Pro-Baker Scraper Node async function bakeRegion(regionID) { const rawPermits = await fetchGovPermits(regionID); return rawPermits.map(p => ({ coord: p.geometry.center, type: p.status === 'Active' ? 'LODE' : 'PLACER', expiry: p.expiry_date, owner: hashPrivacy(p.owner_name) })); }

2. Transforming Data into Utility

Data becomes useful only when it helps you decide where to swing the coil. The Paystreak Data Dashboard (now live in NV, AZ, CA, and AU) utilizes the Pro-Baker API to show you claim density in real-time. If a county shows a 20% spike in lode claims in a month, it's a sign that industrial exploration is heating up—and where there's industrial smoke, there's gold fire.

Quantitative

Total active claims, renewal rates, and extraction density metrics.

Qualitative

Geological focal points, rock age, and secondary mineral signatures.

3. The Global Expansion

We are currently expanding the Pro-Baker to cover:

  • Australian Tengraph: Full integration of WA and Queensland lease boundaries.
  • USGS MRDS: Mapping 300,000+ historic occurrence records across the US.
