This digital product is developed from a database of published abandoned mine openings for the province of Nova Scotia. The database is maintained by the Nova Scotia Department Natural Resources and Renewables (NRR), Geoscience and Mines Branch (GMB). The digital product was created by the NRR GMB staff. The database provides approximate coordinate locations for many of the abandoned mine openings, and also provides a source reference on each mine opening.
