The 1946 Manitoba mining sector faced wartime labour and equipment shortages yet maintained production and expanded exploration.

Major development includes a new No 4 winze pushing near six levels below the 16th level and renewed exploration across Island Lake, Beresford Lake, and surrounding properties.

Pine Falls town planned for Pine Falls Paper Mills site
The project covers a town built on the late Leo Schnaus property. Architect Leonard H. Schlemm of Montreal prepared the general layout with Manitoba Paper Company engineers guiding dwelling design. Homes are varied, back from curved streets, of frame stucco, heated by hot water or hot air, wired for electric appliances, and linked to modern water filtration, chlorination, and sewer systems. The riverfront utility plant and Mill Substation supply light and power while rear lot service lines avoid visible poles.
