Geology of Manitoba explained

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

See main article: 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.
