In 2005, two projects were underway to allow deeper mining at Creighton Mine. The first was an $8-million, four-year diamond drill exploration program that will allow for ore tonnage to be defined down to the 10,000-foot (3,000 m) level. [30]
The Sudbury Neutrino Observatory (SNO) was a neutrino observatory located 2100 m underground in Vale's Creighton Mine in Sudbury, Ontario, Canada. The detector was designed to detect solar neutrinos through their interactions with a large tank of heavy water. The detector was turned on in May 1999, and was turned off on 28 November 2006.

The Franklin-Creighton Mine was a Georgia Gold Rush gold mine located off what is now Yellow Creek Road in the town of Ball Ground in Cherokee County, Georgia. The mine, located along the Etowah River , was initially known as the Franklin Mine because it was started by a widow, Mrs. Mary G. Franklin, who obtained a 40-acre (160,000 m 2 ) lot in ...
In northern Peru, the World Bank's business-lending arm is part owner of the Yanacocha gold mine, accused by impoverished farming communities of despoiling their land in pursuit of the precious ore. The bank and IFC have stepped up investments in projects deemed to have a high risk of serious and environment damage, including oil pipelines, mines and even coal-fired power plants, an ...
The Creighton fault as it passes under Science North. Creighton fault is a major fault line through the Sudbury Basin in Canada. It has a mapped length of 56 km, a throw of over 600m, and a shear zone 30m wide, and runs east–west through Lake Ramsey and the Creighton mine.
