Assessment Reports

Now available on-line, see GIS Map Gallery

Manitoba assessment reports are the primary and most current source of detailed exploration data available to the public. The reports become available to the public three years after submission (five years for airborne work) or once all claims in a report have lapsed.

The Manitoba non-confidential assessment report collection consists of over 8,188 reports of work beginning in the late 1940s. This collection is held and maintained by the
