Emplacement, structural controls, and pegmatite crystallization in fertile temporal windows in the Winnipeg River-Cat Lake pegmatite field, Manitoba, Canada

This projects aims to understand the mechanisms responsible for lithium mineralization associated with hard rock in Manitoba, Canada. Lithium is seen as critical for the decarbonization of our economy and as such it is vital that we understand its origins and be able to predict where to find more in a sustainable way. Another objective of the research is to provide tools for exploration companies to be more efficient in their prospects. The interns will benefit from interacting with industry and academia elevating their skills in these types of mineral deposits and carry the knowledge obtained during this project to other parts of Canada where lithium is also sought after.
