Massive Sulphide Research in the Rusty Lake - Snow Lake Greenstone Belts, Manitoba.

Program was initiated in 1989 in response to the significant decline in Canadian base metal reserves that had occurred in the preceding decade. The objective was to improve concepts and technologies applicable to exploration in established base metal camps; one means of achieving this was to foster a closer integration of the traditional disciplines of geology, geochemistry, and geophysics.

Accordingly, a multidisciplinary team of geoscientists from the Geological Survey of Canada (GSC) and the Manitoba Geological Services Branch (MGSB) was assembled to undertake a comprehensive study of the Snow Lake and Rusty Lake volcanogenic massive sulphide districts of Manitoba.

The results of this project were published in 1996 as GSC Bulletin 426, co-edited by G.F. Bonham-Carter, A.G. Galley and G.E.M. Hall.
