  1. Zinc mines in Canada

    - Faro, Yukon

    - Heath Steele Mines, New Brunswick

    - Nanisivik Mine, Nunavut

    - Pine Point Mine, Northwest Territories

    - Sullivan Mine, British Columbia

    "Mineral resources have not been discovered in commercial quantities although trace deposits of coal, uranium, vanadium and other minerals exist. Since 1940, drilling has revealed the existence of natural gas beneath the seabed off the northeast part of the province, but no commercially exploitable finds have been made. Mining to date has been restricted to open-pit removal of sand and gravel, but the latter is of low quality and in insufficient quantities to meet even local demand. ..."

    Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick, Manitoba, Saskatchewan

    In Canada, mines are most heavily concentrated in the Mixedwood Plains, Boreal Shield, Prairie, and Montane Cordillera ecozones. Mines require accessibility, and are therefore strongly correlated with transportation routes. While most mines are designed as closed systems, occasionally water pollution results from problems in the mining, or milling processes, and aquatic ecosystems can be affected.
