Quirke Mine
The Quirke Mine is an abandoned uranium mine located approximately 13.5 km north of Elliot Lake, Ontario, owned and operated by Rio Algom Ltd. The site has been rehabilitated and is currently undergoing environmental monitoring.

The mine was in operation from 1956 to 1960, and again from 1968 to 1990, during which time it produced 44 million tons of ore from two separate shafts.
