Mineral exploration is the lifeblood of the mining industry. Finding replacement mineral deposits is critical to the future of the mining industry. We have developed the Guidelines to Mineral Exploration in Manitoba (link to publications) as a dynamic tool to help government, Indigenous communities and industry in the phases of exploration. As well, the Manitoba Geological Survey provides a number of information such as interactive maps, activity trackers, and reports with no cost: http://www.manitoba.ca/iem/geo/index.html
The following links provide direct access to some of the most useful tools available from the Manitoba Geological Survey.
Combined, the first two links provide access to virtually all publicly available data related to Manitoba mineral exploration.
The third link provides a quick summary of the survey's projects currently underway.
