The Nunavut Mining Industry, 1999
Nunavut, with its large area and the wealth of its geological provinces, has major potential for mining. Traces of base metals (such as copper, iron, nickel, silver, lead, zinc) precious materials (for example, gold, and diamonds), hydrocarbons (oil and gas) and radioactive elements (uranium) have been detected in various locations of the territory in recent years. At present there are two operational mines in Nunavut, with zinc having the highest value of all the metals produced.
