The Madawaska Mine is an abandoned underground uranium mine near the town of Bancroft, Ontario which produced 9,492,171 pounds of U3O8 during its two periods of production.[1]

From 1954 to 1964 it operated as the Faraday Mine, and after it reopened as the Madawaska mine in 1975, production continued to 1982. The shaft into the uranium-bearing pegmatite reached a depth of {{convert|473|m|ft|0}}.[2]

The mine is currently decommissioned, and a mass of 4,000,000 tonnes of uranium tailings remains at the surface at the mine site.[3]
