Pine Point mining district



Keyword Definition

The Pine Point Mine is located on the south shore of Great Slave Lake, Northwest Territories of Canada. It produced lead and zinc ores from a Mississippi Valley Type deposit between 1964 and 1988. Most of the mining was done using open-pit methods. The town of Pine Point was built by Cominco, and when the mine closed the town was abandoned and demolished.

In 2018, Osisko Metals owns a 100% interest in the Pine Point mining camp.
