Port Radium was first a Uranium Mine discovered by Gilbert Labine which shipped it's first uranium ore in 1931. The Uranium for the Manhattan Project came from this mine. Eldorado closed the Uranium mine in 1940. In 1964 Echo Bay Mines Ltd reopend the mine to mne the silver deposits, this mine ran untils it was closed in 1982. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.25.192.4 (talk) 17:33, 25 October 2009 (UTC)Reply

I believe the official name was Port Radium, not Echo Bay as stated - I was born in Port Radium, and that is what is on my birth certificate. Haven't found good reference to refute claim yet. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Cymm (talk • contribs) 02:31, 15 April 2010 (UTC)Reply

I reckon Port Radium is the location, Echo Bay is a mine operator (Ltd.), Eldorado is the name given to the mine near Port Radium, but also that of an operator (Eldorado Gold Mines Limited). --85.2.45.112 (talk) 16:37, 26 May 2011 (UTC)Reply
