Summary report no. 2 : celestite / R.K. Collings and P.R.A. Andrews. : M38-13/88-3E-PDF
"Celestite (strontium sulphate - SrSO4) and strontianite (strontium carbonate - SrCO3) are the two principal strontium minerals; the former is the more common and by far the chief commercial source of strontium. More than 35 deposits or occurrences of celestite have been identified in Canada, chiefly in Newfoundland, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Ontario and British Columbia. Of particular economic interest are the Lake Enon and MacRae deposits in the Loch Lomond district of Cape Breton Island, N.S. The Lake Enon deposit was operated from 1969 to 1976 by Kaiser Celestite Mining Limited, which supplied an upgraded celestite concentrate to an associated strontium carbonate plant at Point Edward, near Sydney. The MacRae deposit is of current interest to Chromasco, a division of Timminco Limited, Haley, Ont., which is considering its possible development for strontium carbonate manufacture"--Abstract, p. i.
