Lake Jeannine
The Lac Jeannine is located at approximately 8 km of the old mining city of Gagnon in the area of the Coast-North. This small lake of 1,7 km length and 800 m broad owes its notoriety with the intensive exploitation of layer of Fer in the vicinity.
The alteration work proceeded of 1958 to 1961 and the mine was worked by more than 1.000 workers between 1961 and 1976. This layer now exhausted measured 701 m of length, 243 m of width and 304 m of depth; one drew some more than 266 million tons of Fer to average concentration of 33%. The origin of this name seems ascribable to a prospector of the mining Compagnie Quebec-Cartier, which belonged to a team which discovered a rich person layer of Fer at this place in 1957. C `is the discovery of this important layer which led to the construction of the power station Binder-Yellow and the railroad towards Port-Cartier at the end of the Années 1950 and of the creation of the town of Gagnon in 1960.
