Opened in 1959 by the Canadian Salt Company and now operated by Windsor Salt, the mine runs beneath the Pugwash River near the village on the Gulf of Saint Lawrence and employs around 210 people. Shipments run mainly from spring through late autumn while the harbour is ice-free, with bulk carriers calling several times a year to load salt.
