Other/historical names associated with this locality:

St. Lawrence Zinc No. 4 Mine; ZCA No. 4 Mine; Balmat Mine; St. Joe No. 4 Mine; No. 4 shaft; ESM #4

An underground zinc mine. The No. 4 mine (vertical shaft sunk to depth 3,200 feet (ca. 1 km)) & 5,000-tonne-per-day mill started in 1971.

St. Lawrence Zinc Company, LLC (a subsidiary of Hudson Bay Minerals, Inc.), which is wholly owned by Titan Mining Corporation, restarted the Balmat No. 4 zinc mine & mill in 2006.

The mine name was changed in February 2017 from Balmat to Empire State Mine.
