Sherritt-Gordon Mine

Manitoba, Canada

Sherritt-Gordon Mine is a defunct zinc and copper mine in Sherridon, Manitoba, Canada, on the shore of Kississing Lake. Situated near Flin Flon, the mine is located about 800 kilometres (500 mi) northwest of the provincial capital city of Winnipeg. Pollution from the mine contaminated Kississing Lake in what has been described as "one of the worst cases of acidic mine drainage in the world." In 1947, workers staged a months-long strike at the mine.
