Nanisivik Mine was a zinc-lead mine in the company town of Nanisivik, Nunavut, Template:Cvt north of the Arctic Circle on Baffin Island. It was Canada's first mine in the Arctic.[1] The mine first opened on 15 October 1976 and permanently closed in September 2002 due to low metal prices and declining resources. Mine reclamation began in April 2003.[2] It was one of the most northerly mines in the world.[3]
The mine was served by a port and dock located about Template:Cvt north. It was used for shipping concentrate from the site, and receiving supplies. It is currently used by the Canadian Coast Guard for training[4] and is intended to become Nanisivik Naval Facility.
The mine also had its own airport (Nanisivik Airport) located about Template:Cvt southwest and was the main airport for Arctic Bay, until they expanded the Arctic Bay Airport. The airport is about Template:Cvt directly southeast of Arctic Bay but the road between them is Template:Cvt.[5]
Climate
Nanisivik has a tundra climate (ET) with long, cold winters and very short, chilly summers that are rarely mild. Early winter tends to be snowiest period of the year, with around 40% of all yearly snowfall falling during this short period.
