Uranium City Saskatchewan is located 30 miles south of the provincial boundary with the Northwest Territories and 50 miles east of the Saskatchewan Alberta border. When a person thinks about Uranium City the first thought would be it was there because of uranium. Well you would be partly correct. Actually the fur trade was the dominant economic activity until the 1930s when gold was discovered in the Beaverlodge Lake area. From 1938 until the mid 1940's gold was mined in the area. It wasn't until 1946 uranium exploration was initiated and Eldorado Mining & Refining Ltd. began production in 1953. Uranium City boomed in the 1950's when the American Government offered to buy all the uranium that the mines could produce. The majority of the uranium used for power generation and for building nuclear weapons from 1950 till 1980 was produced here.
