Free download: Compilation on lithogeochemistry from Precambrian rocks in Manitoba This GeoFile provides a compilation of lithogeochemistry for Manitoba rocks analyzed from 1992 to 2021. The majority of the data is sourced from Manitoba Geological Survey publications and collaborators. This file will be updated annually or bi-annually as new data becomes available for compilation. This dataset can be brought into GIS software, and integrated with other geoscience data, for a better understanding of Manitoba’s geology and possibly generate new areas of interest for exploration. Free download: manitoba.ca/iem/info/libmin/geofile4.xlsx. This publication supersedes GeoFile 4-2022. Manitoba till-matrix geochemistry compilation: visible gold grains in the heavy mineral (<2 mm) size fraction This GeoFile provides a digital dataset for till-geochemistry surveys carried out in Manitoba, where the heavy mineral (<2 mm) size-fraction was analyzed for visible gold. This compilation of 24 projects includes 3804 till samples, and will be updated annually or bi-annually. This data can be brought into GIS software, and integrated with other geoscience data, to generate new exploration targets and design follow-up exploration programs. Free download: manitoba.ca/iem/info/libmin/geofile8.zip This publication supersedes GeoFile 8-2023. A comprehensive summary of geological investigations conducted by the Manitoba Geological Survey (MGS) in the past year. The report includes new field programs, new digital initiatives, and collaborative ventures with the federal government, universities and the mineral exploration industry. The Report of Activities provides industry with the most current geoscience information available to help focus exploration strategies and assist with mineral investment decisions for the coming year. PDFs of the entire Report of Activities 2024 are available for download free of charge at manitoba.ca/iem/geo/field/index.html Note: Preliminary Maps are available in print for $10.00 plus PST or in PDF as a free download Bedrock geology of the northwestern Burntwood Lake area, west-central Manitoba (part of NTS 63N7) Free download: manitoba.ca/iem/info/libmin/PMAP2024-1.pdf Rock Volatiles Stratigraphy data from drill cuttings from four oil wells in southwestern Manitoba (parts of NTS 62F2, K3) This Data Repository Item supplements: Nicolas, M.P.B., Smith, C.M. and Smith, M.P. 2024: Rock volatiles analysis of drill cuttings to evaluate the helium and hydrocarbon prospectivity of southwestern Manitoba (parts of NTS 62F2, K3); in Report of Activities 2024, Manitoba Economic Development, Investment, Trade and Natural Resources, Manitoba Geological Survey, p. 153–163.
