Which is still operational, the Meadowbank Gold Mine or the Salmita Mine?
The Meadowbank Gold Mine
Salmita Mine
The Salmita Mine was a gold producer in the Northwest Territories, Canada during 1983 to 1987.
 The deposit was first discovered in 1945 and underground exploration was carried out in 1951-1952.
 It was reactivated for exploration by Giant Yellowknife Mines Limited in 1975 and entered production in 1983.
 They used the old camp and milling plant of the abandoned Tundra Mine, located a few kilometres to the south.
 The mine produced 179,906 troy ounces (5596 kg) of gold from the milling of 238,177 tons of ore.

Crisson Mine was a gold mine in Lumpkin County, Georgia, USA, located just east of Dahlonega.
 Like many mines in the area, the property probably started as a placer mine during the Georgia Gold Rush.
 Once the placer deposits had been exhausted, an open pit gold mine was established in 1847 and commercial operations continued until the early 1980s.
 A small stamp mill was also established here.
 Much of the gold used for the gold leaf dome of the Georgia State Capitol was mined at this mine, which was among the most productive mine in the Georgia Gold Belt.
 The mine is located just north of the site of the Consolidated Mine, which is itself north of and the Calhoun Mine. Samira Hill Gold Mine
The Samira Hill Gold Mine (fr.
 "Mine d'Or du Mont Samira") is a Gold mine in Téra Department of the Tillabéri Region in Niger.
 Opened in late 2004, it is the first industrial scale gold mine in the nation, and while operated by a Canadian/Moroccan consortia, the government of Niger owns both a 20% stake in its operation, and functions under government concession.
 The mine, and the possibility that other gold concessions will follow, is projected to be an important component of future export revenue for the West African state. Sukari mine

Mining is important to the national economy of Mongolia.
 Coal, copper, and gold are the principal reserves mined in Mongolia.
 Several gold mines are located about 110 km north of Ulaanbaatar, such as Boroo Gold Mine and Gatsuurt Gold Mine.
 Khotgor Coal Mine is an open-pit coal mining site about 120 km west of Ulaangom.
 Ömnögovi Province in the south of Mongolia is home to large scale mining projects such as the Tavan Tolgoi coal mine and the Oyu Tolgoi copper mine.
 Oyu Tolgoi mine is reported to have the potential to boost the national economy by a third but is subject to dispute over how the profits should be shared.
 The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has estimated that 71 percent of the income from the mine would go to Mongolia. Dvoinoye Gold Mine
The Dvoinoye Gold Mine is an underground gold mine in the Bilibinsky District of the Chukotka Autonomous Okrug of Russia.
 The mine is owned by Canadian mining company Kinross Gold and is approximately 100 km from their Kupol Gold Mine.
