The data we collect
The Manitoba Geological Survey employs scientific methods in mapping and interpreting the geologic history of the rocks in Manitoba and the environments in which they formed. This work helps to form a regional picture that could lead to ore-deposit discoveries.
We don't explore for ore-bearing minerals specifically, but we help economic development in Manitoba. Exploration companies may use our data to decide whether or not they would have an exploration program in certain areas.
