The mine has been closed for many years and is now flooded. When operating in the 1960's, it accounted for 90% of all barite produced in Canada. It is also the type locality for two cobalt minerals, aplowite and moorhouseite. This gallery is a storage elevator for the barite mine, where barite (and later lead-zinc-silver-copper) was loaded onto trucks and boats.  Media Coverage  Future Plans  Stories Add your own story  Photo Galleries July 06 2011 Wed, Jul 6th, 2011 posted by tbeckerson 11 pictures February 2014 Fri, Feb 14th, 2014 posted by tbeckerson 11 pictures Add your own photos Mark all galleries as Seen  Web Links http://nsminerals....ce.com/Walton.html  Contribute Edit this Location  Moderator Rating The moderator rating is a neutral rating of the content quality, photography, and coolness of this location.
