Mining

Manitoba mines produce a variety of mineral resources from the base and precious metals such as nickel, copper, zinc and gold and specialty metals like cesium. In addition, Manitoba's industrial minerals include dolomite, spodumene, silver, gypsum, salt, granite, limestone, lime, sand and gravel. 

The Beausejour Brokenhead Region is well known as one of the best sources in the world for Tyndall Stone, beautiful mottling that gives Tyndall Stone its unique and one of the kind appearance. Canada is the only source in the world for this stone, geologically referred to as the Upper Mottled Limestone of the Red River Formation of the Ordovician System.
