Precambrian Stratigrapher

Introduction

The Manitoba Geological Survey, Minerals, Petroleum and Geoscience Resource Development Division facilitates sustainable development of the province’s mineral, petroleum and pore-space resources. The Geological Survey Branch conducts a wide range of investigations, which include the examination of exposed bedrock, subsurface materials, and surficial sediments including sand, gravel and organic deposits throughout Manitoba. The branch provides data and products, such as geological maps and reports, metallic and industrial mineral deposit reports and databases, mineral resource assessments, targeted geoscience research, development of exploration models, and maintenance of data inventories. By developing an understanding of Manitoba's geology and geological processes, the Geological Survey Branch promotes mineral exploration opportunities and contributes to wise land-use management.
