Brunswick 6 Mine

The Brunswick #6 mine is a copper-lead-zinc mine in the Bathurst Mining Camp of northern New Brunswick, Canada. It was discovered in October, 1952 and was in production from 1966 until 1983. The Brunswick #6 orebody was the first major sulfide deposit discovered in the Bathurst area. The mine operated as an open-pit operation until 1977 when a ramp was driven from the bottom of the pit to access deeper ore.

Geology

The Brunswick #6 deposit is a volcanogenic massive sulfide (VMS) deposit rich in lead, zinc, and copper.
