Uranium City is a new townsite which is being developed in the bush of northern Saskatchewan by the Provincial Government, through its Department of Mineral Resources (The Department of Natural Resources and Industrial Development until 31 March 1953),. The town is being developed to serve the needs of an area which achieved sudden fame in 1950 when an important find of uranium ore was made by the Eldorado Mining and Smelting Company. Development of this mine and the association mill led to great activity in the district and much prospecting. Peer reviewed: No NRC publication: Yes
