This report presents the results of a comprehensive geoscientific investigation of the Rice Lake area completed under the auspices of the Rice Lake metallogeny project—a multiyear, multidisciplinary initiative by the Manitoba Geological Survey to update the understanding of the geology, metallogeny and tectonic evolution of the Archean Rice Lake greenstone belt. The Rice Lake study included detailed bedrock mapping and structural analysis, in conjunction with lithogeochemical, Sm-Nd isotopic and U-Pb geochronological analyses of select rock-types, and provides new insight into the stratigraphy, depositional environment, structural evolution and tectonic setting of Archean supracrustal and intrusive rocks in the vicinity of the 2.3 million ounce Rice Lake (San Antonio) gold deposit, the largest lode gold deposit discovered to date in Manitoba. The results of this study also provide a significantly improved geological context for gold exploration in the study area, and indicate a previously unrecognized potential for volcanic-hosted massive sulphide (VHMS) deposits. Note: the lithogeochemical, Sm-Nd isotopic and U-Pb geochronological data are available in Data Repository Item DRI2008002)
