Formerly: Black Lake Mine, now British Canadian mine (B.C. 1 & B.C. 2 mines), Black Lake, Mégantic Co., Québec, Canada

One of the largest, now inactive, open pit chrysotile asbestos mine in the area, that through pit expansion consolidated a number of adjacent mines. It will take some research to sort out the names (multiple names) of the absorbed mines.

Dominant rock is rodingite, but calcalkaline biotite granite, herzbergite, and peridolitite are also present in the pit.
