Moose River Gold Mines is a Canadian rural community located in Nova Scotia's Halifax Regional Municipality.

[2] These historic workings produced some 26,000 troy ounces (810 kg) of gold, which was largely taken from quartz veins, but some also from open slate quarries.

[3] On April 12, 1936, the roof of the mine collapsed, trapping three men, Herman Magill, David Robertson, and Alfred Scadding,[4] 150 feet (46 m) down for 11 days.

[2] The following year a Hollywood movie, Draegerman Courage, was made about the events in Moose River and cave-in at the mine, trapping three men.

[7] Today, there is a provincial park with a cairn and there was a plaque where the borehole was drilled, and there is a museum portraying the history of the gold mine.
