The Nordic Mine, is an abandoned uranium mine in the Elliot Lake area of Ontario, owned by Rio Algom Ltd.
The site was in operation from 1957 to 1968,[1] during which time it produced 12 million tonnes of tailings.
[2] The mill continued to process ore from the Quirke and Panel mines until 1990.
[1] Although underground production ceased in 1968, the Dry-and-Pack section of the mill was active for 2 more decades along with several offices and a Security Gatehouse.
The property also became a temporary graveyard for derelict and neglected vehicles from various Rio Algoma apartment parking lots, mine parking lots and trailer park left-overs as people were coming and going during the crazy boom days of the late 1970s and early 1980s.
