ENDAKO

ENDAKO
Is a small forestry, mining and railway community located on the Yellowhead Highway (Highway #16), about 170 kilometers west of Prince George. The community used to be a division point for the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway and since then, the railway continues to play a major in the economy. In 1965, Endako opened a huge open-pit molybdenum mine (“moly” for short) and at one time, became the largest producer of Molybdenum in Canada and the second largest in the world. The mine was sold in 1997 to a Denver, Colorado-based mining company.
