Cigar Lake Mine

The Cigar Lake Mine is in Canada, Athabasca, Saskatchewan.

It is a large high-grade underground uranium mine. It is in the uranium-rich Athabasca Basin of northern Saskatchewan, Canada.

It is at the south-west corner of Waterbury Lake.^[1] The deposit was discovered in 1981. It is second in size of high-grade deposits only to the nearby McArthur River mine. Other deposits, such as Olympic Dam in Australia, have more uranium but at lower grades.^[2]
