The Non-Metallic Mineral Resources of Manitoba

By L Greer and R C Wallace

"The Non-Metallic Mineral Resources of Manitoba" is a comprehensive geological survey that details the wealth of industrial and non-metallic minerals found within the province of Manitoba. Authored by R. C. Wallace and L. Greer, this work serves as a foundational text for understanding the economic geology of Western Canada during the early 20th century.

The study provides an in-depth exploration of various resources including clays, shales, gypsum, coal, building stones, and sand deposits. Through rigorous scientific observation and field data, the authors examine the location, accessibility, and commercial potential of these deposits. The text not only catalogs the physical properties of these minerals but also discusses their practical applications in construction, manufacturing, and industry, reflecting the developmental goals of the era.

This volume is an essential reference for historians of science, geologists, and those interested in the industrial history of Canada. It highlights the transition of Manitoba from a primarily agricultural region to one with a burgeoning interest in resource extraction and diversified industrial growth. "The Non-Metallic Mineral Resources of Manitoba" remains a significant record of the province's natural heritage and the scientific efforts to harness its subsurface wealth.
