Meadowbank falls approximately 70 km north of the Hamlet of Baker Lake, or 110 km by road. Whale Tail, a satellite deposit to the Meadowbank mine, is located approximately 50km north of Meadowbank. Meliadine is located near the western shore of Hudson Bay, about 25 km north of Rankin Inlet. Agnico Eagle Mines acquired the Meadowbank property from Cumberland in 2007, with construction of the mine taking place between 2007 and 2010 and production beginning in 2011. Most mining activities at the Meadowbank site were completed in Q4 of 2019. The discovery and development of a satellite deposit in the Amaruq area, called Whale Tail, which is 50 kilometres away from Meadowbank site, has extended the life of the Meadowbank Complex by supplying a new source of ore to the existing Meadowbank mill. The Whale Tail satellite deposit achieved commercial production on September 30, 2019 and has an estimated seven-year mine life.
