Lupin (Closed) gold mine

Operations were suspended in January 1998, due to low gold prices, but the mine was re-commissioned in April 2000. Due to the remote location of the property, bulk supplies were transported to the site via a 360-mile ice road. Despite the cost associated with re-opening the route every winter, significant cost savings over airfreight were realised.
