In central Manitoba lies the Flin Flon greenstone belt, which is one of the largest Paleoproterozoic volcanic-hosted massive sulphide districts in the world, containing 27 copper-zinc-(gold) deposits from which more than 183 million tonnes of sulphide have been mined.[1]
Ashville Formation
The Ashville Formation is a geological
formation in Saskatchewan and Manitoba whose strata date back to the Late Cretaceous. Dinosaur remains are among the fossils that have been recovered from the formation.[2]
It is geochronologically equivalent to the Lower Colorado Group and the Viking Formation in central Alberta.
