Manitoba's Mineral Resources
Over the last 100 years, Manitoba’s mining industry has spawned over 70 mines – leading railways, roads and airports into the northern reaches of the province and giving rise to mining centres at Flin Flon, Snow Lake, Thompson, Leaf Rapids and Lynn Lake. – Manitoba Mining brochure
The Manitoba Mining thru the Centuries presents the history of mining in the province as a timeline, a provincial map showing locations, commodity and company listings and a photo gallery.
