Köppen climate type:
Former uranium mine located around 8 km south of Uranium City, in the Beaverlodge Uranium District.
The deposit was discovered in 1952 and a shaft sunk in 1954. The mine closed in 1960. The ore occurred in a band of severely contorted graphitic schist. Pitchblende and uranium secondaries were found in irregular shoots up to 200 ft. long and 50 ft. wide.
Note on the coordinates: Wikipedia gives 59.49°N 108.65°W.
