Keno Hill Silver Mine
The Keno Hill Silver Mine, located in the Yukon Territory, is one of Canada's most historically significant silver mining districts, with over 200 million ounces of silver produced since its discovery in 1919. Now owned by Hecla Mining following the acquisition of Alexco Resource Corp., the mine continues to be a key contributor to silver production, with ongoing efforts to expand its resources. The Keno Hill district is renowned for its high-grade silver-lead-zinc veins, and with continued exploration and development, it remains an important asset in the global silver market.
