Former Lamaque Mine, Gold mine and heritage site in Val-d'Or, Canada
The Former Lamaque Mine features both industrial mining structures and residential buildings, representing the development of Canadian mining operations in Quebec.
Established during the Great Depression in 1935, the Lamaque Mine became one of Quebec's most productive gold extraction sites through the mid-20th century.
The mining complex includes distinct residential zones that display the social structure, with larger houses for management and basic dwellings for laborers.
The site maintains regular visiting hours and provides guided tours through the mining facilities, offering direct access from Provincial Highway 117.
The underground mining system contains numerous quartz-tourmaline-carbonate veins across different shear zones, yielding high-grade gold deposits.
