Northern Manitoba

 

Surficial Geology mapping east of Southern Indian Lake

Project Status: Completed (2015)

Project Information

Principal investigators:
Michelle Gauthier

Partnered with:
Manitoba Hydro

Location:
Gauer Lake to Wishart Lake, NTS 64H4, 5, 12, 13

 

Project Description

Main objectives:

To provide new, detailed surficial geology maps, to complement ongoing trace geochemistry and indicator mineral sampling.

Methodology:

  • Helicopter-supported surficial mapping.

  • Collection of ice-flow indicators.

  • Till sampling for pebble lithology.

  • Determination of dispersal distances and transport distances in till.

 

Benefits:

A strong public geoscience knowledge base is recognized internationally as a key competitive advantage in profiling a jurisdiction’s geological potential and attracting investment in mineral exploration and development. The products from this project will provide direct input to ongoing mineral exploration initiatives in north-central Manitoba.
