In the late 1940s, Eldorado explored the Beaverlodge Lake area of Northern Saskatchewan as a potential source of uranium. Mining operations began in 1947, and, by April 1953, a mine was in production, with RE Barrett serving as the manager of the 'Beaverlodge Operation'. The mining operation ended in June 1982 when the Beaverlodge mine closed permanently.

Series includes a sub-series consisting of cartographic material -- maps containing geological data and other information -- as well as engineering plans pertaining to the mining operations in the Beaverlodge area. Also included is a geological interpretive model of the mine area prepared in 1971 by Robert K. Aaberg, the Model Technician for Eldorado Nuclear.

Series also includes a sub-series consisting of textual files documenting the activities of Eldorado Nuclear in their Beaverlodge operations in Northern Saskatchewan. The series includes early subject files, as well as a range of operational records spanning three decades of operations. Technical drawings related to the Beaverlodge area are included among the textual files. Also included is an explanation on filing codes for the Exploration and Geological divisions.

Series also includes the Beaverlodge Mine Geology closure report by D.M. Ward (dated October 1982).
