The purpose of this dataset is to give a an accurate representation of the game hunting boundaries in Manitoba. Please refer to the Manitoba Game Hunting Areas dataset . Game Hunting Areas (GHAs) are defined under the Hunting Areas and Zones Regulation (220/86) of The Wildlife Act (CCSM c. W130). Game Hunting Areas are used to support boundaries for species specific hunting seasons, harvest allocations, bag limits and associated regulations. Refer to the Hunting Areas and Zones Regulation for GHA boundary descriptions.Fields Included (Alias (Field Name): Field description) OBJECTID (OBJECTID): s equential unique whole numbers that are automatically generated GHA (GHA): the n umber assigned to each Game Hunting Area Shape_Length (Shape_Length): the l ength of the feature in internal units Shape_Area (Shape_Area): a rea of the feature in internal units squared

This map of the total magnetic field was derived from data acquired during an aeromagnetic survey carried out by EON Geosciences Inc. during the period between April 12, 2010 to June 2, 2010. The data were recorded using a split-beam cesium vapour magnetometer (sensitivity = 0.005 nT) mounted in the tail boom of a Piper Navajo aircraft. The nominal traverse and control line spacings were, respectively, 800 m and 2 400 m, and the aircraft flew at a nominal terrain clearance of 250 m. Traverse lines were oriented N45°E with orthogonal control lines. The flight path was recovered following post-flight differential corrections to the raw Global Positioning System data and inspection of ground images recorded by a vertically-mounted video camera. The survey was flown on a pre-determined flight surface to minimize differences in magnetic values at the intersections of control and traverse lines. These differences were computer-analysed to obtain a mutually levelled set of flight-line magnetic data. The levelled values were then interpolated to a 200 m grid. The International Geomagnetic Reference Field (IGRF) was not removed from the magnetic field.

Aurora Geosciences Ltd was contracted to perform a review of publicly available digital magnetic geophysical data submitted with assessment reports to develop standardized products and compilations. Data submitted prior to March 2015 were considered. Individual assessment report data were levelled and integrated with 1:250 000 compilations. Four gridded PDFs have been produced (residual total magnetic field, reduced to pole, vertical derivative and tilt derivative). Original 250k geophysical data can be found in YGS Open File 2017-38.

In 2008 Exploration Syndicate Inc. contracted Geotech Inc. to fly a regional-scale ZTEM survey covering a 25,000 km2 area (1 km line spacing) in the Selwyn basin. The survey footprint straddles the Canol Road in east-central Yukon and overlaps into the western Northwest Territories. In March 2013 Yukon Geological Survey purchased the survey data, and in May we received approval to distribute the data publicly. As no interpretation was included with the purchase of the data, Condor Consulting Inc. offered to process the data and generate maps, gridded data, and a report. Condor undertook the work at no charge, and their contribution to the project is gratefully acknowledged. This Miscellaneous Report comprises a number of parts: - original survey report produced by Geotech Ltd. describing the data acquisition and processing parameters; - raw survey data acquired from Exploration Syndicate Inc.; - a report summarizing the processing and interpretation undertaken by Condor Consulting; - a series of maps in pdf and tiff formats; and - gridded data. File sizes are large. If you experience problems downloading any of the products or would like to obtain the raw data, Geotech data, Multiplots, or any of the other files please contact us at geology@gov.yk.ca. The project was funded by the Canadian Northern Economic Development Agency (CanNor) through their Strategic Investments in Northern Economic Development program.

This aeromagnetic survey was carried out by Goldak Airborne Surveys from February 17, 2014 to March 21, 2014. The data were collected using split-beam cesium vapour magnetometers mounted in each of the tail booms of 2 Piper Navajo aircraft. Nominal traverse and control line spacings were 400 and 1400 m, and the nominal terrain clearance was 125 m.

Biophysical or ecosystem mapping is built on the principle that vegetation composition and distribution responds in predictable ways to specific abiotic terrain conditions. Terrain (surficial geology) mapping and subsequent stratification into ecosystem units forms the basis for local-scale biophysical mapping. Biophysical mapping is therefore an integrated system of mapping which describes both terrain conditions (surficial material type, slope, landscape position, drainage and permafrost conditions) and ecological factors (vegetation community and structure, and soil moisture and nutrient regimes). The Watson Lake area was selected for a pilot biophysical mapping project because of imminent resource activities in southeastern Yukon. Local-scale (1:50 000) biophysical mapping was carried out in the 105A/2 NTS map area during 2004 in cooperation with Yukon Environment, Yukon Geological Survey and Cryogeographic Consulting. Analysis of hard copy 1:40 000-scale aerial photographs was conducted to outline preliminary terrain (surficial geology) and ecosystem units. Four weeks of summer field work was then conducted to ground truth the preliminary aerial photograph interpretation and develop a more detailed ecological classification system for southeast Yukon. Following the field season, the corrected mapping was digitized using stereo-georeferenced high-resolution scanned aerial photographs in Microstation Diap Viewer. Subsequent geographic information system (GIS) manipulation was performed in ArcGIS 9.0. Part of the purpose of the project was to develop a methodology for performing biophysical mapping using these technological tools.

This high sensitivity aeromagnetic survey was carried out by Goldak Airborne Surveys (Goldak) on behalf of the Geological Survey of Canada (GSC) between January 25th and March 26th, 2011. Aircraft equipment operated included three cesium vapour magnetometers, a GPS real-time and post-corrected differential positioning system, a flight path recovery camera, VHS titling and recording system, as well as radar and barometric altimeters. All data were recorded digitally in GEDAS binary file format. Reference ground equipment included two GEM Systems GSM-19W Overhauser magnetometers and a Novatel 12 channel GPS base station which was set up at the base of operations for differential post-flight corrections. Eighty two flights (including test and calibration sorties) were required to complete the survey block. A total of 37,999 line kilometres of high resolution magnetic data were collected, processed and plotted. The traverse lines were flown at a spacing of 400 m with control lines flown at a separation of 2400 m. Nominal terrain clearance was specified at 100 m above ground.

This map of the residual total magnetic field was derived from data acquired during an aeromagnetic survey carried out by Goldak Airborne Surveys during the period May 16, 2009 to July 1, 2009. The data were recorded using a split-beam cesium vapour magnetometer mounted in the tail boom of a Piper Navajo aircraft. The nominal traverse and control line spacings were 400 m and 2400 m, respectively, and the aircraft flew at a nominal terrain clearance of 150 m.
