Camlaren Mine

The Camlaren Mine was a small gold producer north-east of Yellowknife, Northwest Territories, Canada at Gordon Lake. It was staked in 1936 and developed with two shafts during 1937-1938. It did not produce any gold until 1963 when a large amount of ore was trucked to the nearby Discovery Mine.

The property was demolished sometime after the 1981 closure, and only the old chimney from the mine manager's house remains.
