Exploration and development of Manitoba's mineral resources starts in the
library.
The Mineral Resources Library is your gateway to information on Manitoba's
geology, mineral and petroleum resources and industries. Whether you are looking
for reports, maps, journal articles or video/audio cassette recordings dealing
with these topics, we can help. We have an extensive collection and a world of
information at our fingertips via in-house or on-line databases.
If the information is not in our collection, we can direct you to technical and
scientific information around the world.
