All GIS data is in ESRI (r) shapefile form. The projection
parameters are UTM zone 14, NAD83, units meters. The Inco map
was originally created in "mine grid" coordinates and subsequently
transformed to UTM projection by P. Lenton using transformation
parameters provided by Inco Ltd.
The contents of the \hydrography_20k folder are derived from
digital orthophotography produced under the CAMIRO project
for the exposed portion of the belt.
The hydrography file included in the \Inco folder is a hydrographic
base produced by Inco Ltd.

The contents of the \PDF_maps folder are Adobe Acrobat (r)
(version 4) copies of Manitoba Geological Survey Preliminary Maps
2001FN-1 to -4, 2001FS-1 to -5, 2001HB-1 to -2 and 2001I-1 to -4.
Suggested references for these maps are listed on the individual
sheets. These 15 maps cover the area of the 4 GIS map sets included
in the folders below.

The map data provided on this CD-ROM are preliminary representations
of the results of a mapping and compilation program. It is not to
be regarded as a final interpretation of the geology of the area.
The data used in producing these maps was transferred from un-rectified
airphotos and thus is subject to distortion.
No attempt was made to remove this distortion for this preliminary
release.
