Creighton Mine is an underground nickel, copper, and platinum-group elements (PGE) mine. It is presently owned and operated by Vale Limited (formerly known as INCO) in the city of Greater Sudbury, Ontario, Canada. Open pit mining began in 1901, and underground mining began in 1906.[1] The mine is situated in the Sudbury Igneous Complex (SIC) in its South Range geologic unit.[2] The mine is the source of many excavation-related seismic events, such as earthquakes and rock burst events.[3] It is home to SNOLAB, and is currently the deepest nickel mine in Canada.[4][5] Expansion projects to deepen the Creighton Mine are currently underway.[6]
