Beattie Gold Mine

Quebec, Canada

The Beattie Gold Mine is an abandoned gold mine in Duparquet, Quebec, Canada that began operating in 1933 and led to the founding of the town it is located in. Due to accidents claiming in total 26 lives and pollution, the installations were permanently closed in 1956. The mining concession is still active and there is talks into converting it into an open pit mine and demolish the remnants of the Beattie mine.
