Updates to the Manitoba Mineral Deposits Database
by M.L. Rinne
The Mineral Deposits Database serves as the primary inventory of mineral occurrence data in Manitoba. This GeoFile contains the latest updates to the database, including recently compiled and revised mineral occurrence data for most of the Superior province and all areas of Manitoba north of 57°N. In combination with other geoscientific data, these results can be used to inform mineral potential assessments, exploration targeting, or land-use planning.

Manitoba till-matrix geochemistry compilation: silt plus clay (<63 µm) size fraction by inductively coupled plasma–mass spectrometry after an aqua-regia or modified aqua-regia digestion
by M.S. Gauthier
This GeoFile provides a digital dataset for till-geochemistry surveys carried out in Manitoba, where the silt plus clay (<63 µm) size fraction of the till matrix was analyzed by inductively coupled plasma–mass spectrometry after an aqua-regia or modified aqua-regia digestion. This compilation of 38 projects includes 3683 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.

by T.J. Hodder, M.S. Gauthier, S.E. Kelley and M. Ross
The Kaskattama highland area in northeastern Manitoba preserves an exceptional stratigraphic record of multiple Quaternary glacial-interglacial cycles.
