Uranium City

Uranium City

      municipal corporation, centre of the Beaverlodge Lake mining region in extreme northwestern Saskatchewan, Canada. It lies near the north shore of Lake Athabasca. The discovery in the early 1950s and the subsequent mining of uranium ore there by the Eldorado Mining and Refining Company (renamed Eldorado Nuclear Limited in 1968) were responsible for the relocation of nearby Goldfields, a former gold-mining town. The Eldorado ceased its operations in 1982, and most of the residents of Uranium City moved elsewhere.
