Mapping Canada’s Mineral Resources

With Beautiful Landscapes & Wall Maps of Canada

Geo-Mapping is the Key to Mineral Opportunities in Canada's North

GEM is the Geo-mapping for Energy and Minerals program, recentlyrefunded to facilitate exploration activities in Canada’s North.

Why are Mineral Resources so Important?

Canada’s mineral resources include gold, diamonds, copper, zinc and lead among others. The mining sector is proportionally the largest private sector employer of Aboriginal peoples in Canada, and employment is poised to increase (Exploration and Mining Guide toAboriginal Communities).

This Canada Physical Wall Map features lakes, rivers, mountain ranges with a range of colors. 

Mapping Canada’s Mineral Resources

Canada is the number 1 destination for mineral exploration on the planet since 2006. Like Canada’s neighbor, Alaska (which we explored in Alaska's Frontiers: Mapping Strategies for Mineral Resources), Canada is abundant in mineral resources, but largely unmapped. Mapping these key resources will show the best locations for mining and minimize environmental impact.

The Future: Looking at the Past on Wall Maps of Canada

National Geographic’s 1978 take on Canada as “Beauty to Flaunt and Bounty to Grown On” on this vintage Canada Wall Map shows that the vast resources of Canada were enviable several decades ago as well. As time goes on and development continues, unexplored areas become more desirable and even more important for further development.

Winter Ski Guide

The winter season doesn’t end with Christmas and New Years. You’ve still got a few months to grab your skis, head up the mountains, and find some great snow-covered trails. mapsales.com gives you some great winter skiing destinations.

Vail, Colorado
Vail is a unique skiing environment. It is home to the country’s largest ski school (with over 1,000 instructors), and it offers more groomed terrain than any other resort. Alpine skiing is popular in Vail, as is its cross–country skiing. Enjoy a beautiful view of the Southern Rockies on one of the many ski lifts before you head down the mountainside.

Big Sky, Montana
Big Sky welcomed its first skiers in the 1970s. Although it is a newer resort, its reputation has quickly spread and it is now one of the most popular winter destinations. At Big Sky, you have access to 5,512 skiable acres with 25 lifts and over 220 runs.

Cortina, Italy
One of the world’s oldest ski resorts sits atop the Dolomite Mountains, about 3 hours outside of Venice, Italy. For 2 centuries, skiers have been flocking to Cortina d’Ampezzo to enjoy unrivaled slopes, local pubs, and traditional homemade Italian dinners.

Mt. Tremblant, Canada
Mt. Tremblant is distinguished as Canada’s first ski resort, and the second in North America. Nestled in the mountains just outside Quebec’s capital city, the village surrounding Mt. Tremblant is rich in French cuisine and heritage. In the next decade, the resort will expand its skiable acres from 625 to 1,000, increasing the number of skiers from 12,000 a day to approximately 20,000.
