Geochemistry data for the Lynn Lake greenstone belt, Manitoba (NTS 64C11–16)
by C.J. Beaumont-Smith (5 p. with accompanying Excel database)
Digital web release only
Free download*
The Lynn Lake belt has been the subject of a number of regional- and deposit-scale mineral deposit studies since 1999. In the course of these studies, a large number of samples were collected and analyzed. This Open File presents the results of these analyses which have been compiled into a database in Excel format (Appendix 1). The database comprises 507 results from fusion inductively coupled plasma (ICP) analysis for major oxides and trace elements and inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) analysis and induced neutron activation analysis (INAA) for selected trace elements. While many of the gold metallogeny and tectonic studies are ongoing, this large dataset represents a potentially significant resource for exploration companies undertaking gold and base metal exploration in the belt.

A high-resolution aeromagnetic survey was flown over the Kisseynew-North region, in the Wapisu Lake area of Manitoba. This survey, consisting of 6985 line-kilometres of traverse and control lines, was monitored by the Geological Survey of Canada (GSC) and carried out by Goldak Airborne Surveys Ltd. of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. Normal line spacing was 400 m for the traverses and 2400 m for the control lines, all flown according to a draped surface at a nominal ground clearance of 150 m.
This aeromagnetic survey and the production of these maps were funded by Natural Resources Canada’s Targeted Geoscience Initiative (TGI-3).These maps were produced as part of the Saskatchewan-Manitoba TGI-3 Project and are a contribution to the Targeted Geoscience Initiative (TGI-3) Program of the Earth Sciences Sector, Natural Resources Canada.

27 structure and 35 isopach maps of the Lower Paleozoic sequence (Silurian to Precambrian)
(released February 29, 2008)
39 stratigraphic maps (structure and isopach) of the Mesozoic)
(to be released July 2008)
The Stratigraphic Map series from the TGI II project provides seamless 1:1 000 000 maps of the project area, including structure and isopach maps, mapping a total of 56 different horizons from the Mesozoic and Paleozoic. The maps were drawn from a database containing a comprehensive list of formation tops from a total of 9012 wells, which includes 2606 wells from Manitoba, 5046 wells from Saskatchewan, 771 wells from North Dakota, and 589 wells from Montana.
