Operated 1985 to 1992. Open pit, low grade tin mine. When operating, it was the largest primary tin mine in North America. Now being reclaimed.
Currently (2009) owned by Avalon Rare Metals Inc.
The East Kemptville Tin-Indium Project is located approximately 45 km northeast of Yarmouth, Nova Scotia, in the vicinity of the former East Kemptville Tin Mine.
The property consists of 4 contiguous exploration licenses and a Special License covering an aggregate of over 10,000 ac (4,000 ha) and 880 ac (356 ha) respectively and is easily accessible by a secondary highway.

ⓘ Albite Formula: Na(AlSi3O8) Colour: White |
✪ Anatase Formula: TiO2 Habit: Most commonly as bipyramids to about 2mm. Also as flattened tabular crystals and plates. Small numbers of tiny rosettes ("anatase roses"). Colour: Black, rarely inky blue. Description: First collected by the Nova Scotia Mineral and Gem Society and visitors from Ontario. It is localized to a brecciated rock along the northeastern end of the pit. Not reported from the rest of the mine.

ⓘ 'Parisite' Formula: Ca(Ce/La/Nd/REE)2(CO3)3F2 Description: Interesting brown-cream colored prismatic crystals with excellent cleavage are parisite, a cerium carbonate mineral. Actually, recent microprobe tests have shown that the central parts of the crystals are parisite and the rinds are a cerium phosphate. More identification work is being carried out. These crystals are generally about 5 mm or less, but have been found to about 1 cm. Rarely they will have a dusting of extremely tiny pyrites. Note the undulating growth along the prism and the fat midsection of the rear crystal.

Geochronology
Mineralization age: Late/Upper Devonian : 376 ± 3 MaImportant note: This table is based only on rock and mineral ages recorded on mindat.org for this locality and is not necessarily a complete representation of the geochronology, but does give an indication of possible mineralization events relevant to this locality. As more age information is added this table may expand in the future. A break in the table simply indicates a lack of data entered here, not necessarily a break in the geologic sequence. Grey background entries are from different, related, localities.
