This is the Selbaie Mine which was previously owned by BHPBilliton and was closed in January 2004. Selbaie was discovered in 1974 as a result of drilling on an electromagnetic anomaly identified in an airborne Input survey flown in 1971. It was one of the largest producers of zinc, copper, gold and silver concentrates in Québec and by the end of 1996, underground operations in the A2 and B had mined 7.0 million tonnes of ore, and open pit operations in the A1 zone had mined 23.8 million tonnes of ore. Average grades were 2.02% zinc, 1.22% copper, 0.65 g/t gold, and 43.24 g/t silver.
