It is currently the deepest nickel mine in Canada.[1] HistoryProduction at Creighton Mine began in 1901, and as of August 2004 there was an estimated 20 years of reserves left. ProductionIn 2005 the mine produced an average of 3,755 tons per day on a 6 days per week schedule. Ore is processed off site at Vale's Clarabelle Mill.[2] Creighton Deepening Project{{Update|section|date=June 2016}}Two projects are underway to allow deeper mining at Creigton Mine. The first is an $8-million, four-year diamond drill exploration program that will allow for ore tonnage to be defined down to the {{Convert|10000|ft|adj=on}} level. The second is a $48-million expansion project that will establish production ore at the {{Convert|7810|ft|adj=on}} level and bring 1.8 million tons of high-grade ore into production from 2006–2011.[3] SNOLABCreighton Mine's {{Convert|6800|ft|adj=on}} level is the home of the world's deepest underground physics laboratory. Originally excavated for the Sudbury Neutrino Observatory (SNO), it has been expanded into a general-purpose facility called SNOLAB. See also
