Project Description
Main objectives:
To expand the inventory of potential sources of industrial minerals in Manitoba, to contribute to industrial minerals database, to assist clients in evaluating potential industrial mineral occurrences, to supply industrial mineral information for government marketing opportunities; and to provide industrial mineral data for landuse designation.
Methodology:
The project involved combination of field and office work in gathering, compiling, synthesizing and releasing geoscientific data through published reports, presentations and posters.
Benefits:
The project assisted the mining industry in evaluating the potential for production of various industrial mineral commodities and provides resource data for input into the Protected Areas Initiative.
