Outpost Island Mine and Discovery Mine, are located where?
Outpost Island Mine The Outpost Island Mine was a gold and tungsten producer 94 kilometres southeast of Yellowknife, Northwest Territories on an island of Great Slave Lake. Gold was discovered here in 1935 by prospectors, and some development was undertaken in 1936-1938. Tungsten ores became valuable during World War II, so the owners (Slave Lake Gold Mines Limited) investigated the tungsten possibilities of the mine. It produced small amounts of gold, copper, and tungsten during 1941-1942, and then again in 1951-1952 during the Korean War. It was a small deposit and was not considered economic because of unpredictable tungsten market prices in the 1950s.
Xolobeni mine The Xolobeni mine is a proposed titanium mine in South Africa. A project by Transworld, initially a wholly owned subsidiary of the Australian corporation Mineral Commodities (MRC), the mine would be one of the largest mines of its kind in South Africa. The proposed mine is located in the Wild Coast region of the Eastern Cape and has reserves amounting to 348.7 million tonnes of ore grading 5% titanium. MRC has since pulled out of the project, citing "threats to the peace and harmony of the local Xolobeni community", and in September 2016 the Minister of Mineral Resources announced an 18-month moratorium on mining in the Xolobeni area.
