MineralFile Frequently Asked Questions > MineralFile > You say MineralFile is a deed-based system, what does that mean?

Unlike other systems adapted from those for operators, MineralFile uses information from your mineral deed(s) to begin creating your digitial assets in the system.  This enables you to track your information all the way back to the small unit of your ownership.  Other systems begin with your mineral lease or division order.  Neither of these methods will give you a total picture of your assets.
