Abstract
Background: Various jurisdictions around the world have adopted online mineral staking platforms, designed to create a seamless process for acquiring mineral rights. This article considers how territory is mediated through staking practices and emerging digital prospecting procedures by tracing the implementation of Mineral Titles Online, Canada’s first web-based mineral title interface.Analysis: The article draws on archival materials, explores legal cases, and analyzes the staking application to examine how this practice reconstructs settler colonial logics.Conclusion and implications: The staking application operates as an infrastructure of ongoing colonial extractivism, yet is open to various forms of political intervention—as demonstrated by communities who undermine its intended use.
