RE: Rice Lake District
RE: Rice Lake DistrictDoes this help?
Red Lake is a municipality and census subdivision in the
Canadian province of
Ontario, located 535 km (332 mi) northwest of
Thunder Bay and less than 100 km (62 mi) from the
Manitoba border.
Gold District
The Rice Lake Gold District in 'mining-friendly' Manitoba is an emerging gold district located approximately 80 kilometres west of the prolific Red Lake Mining District in Ontario. The Red Lake Mining District has produced over 30 million ounces of gold and is home to Goldcorp's 11 million ounce Red Lake Mine complex which produces over 600,000 ounces of gold per year. See the Red Lake Gold District pages of this website for details.
The Red Lake and Rice Lake Mining Districts share many geologic features. They lie in the same geological terrain, on the same crustal fault and are structurally very similar. Like the Red Lake greenstone belt, the Rice Lake greenstone belt is part of the Superior Province and Uchi Subprovince. What separates the districts from each other is their exploration history and the border between the provinces of Manitoba and Ontario.
