Silver Crater Mines (International Cobalt and Silver Mining Company subsidiary)
Ontario decommissioned mine
Silver Crater Mine, previously known as the Basin Deposit,[1] is an abandoned mine in Cardiff, Ontario. It has produced some of the world's most notable betafite crystals.
The mine has been worked since the late 19th-century, with industrial mining of mica starting in 1927. Uranium was sought in the 1950s and the mine has been abandoned since 1955.
