- Malagash Salt Mine - Nova Scotia. Canada's biggest salt mine, largest in the British Empire, goes all out in a spectacular war effort. This deposit, more than 100 miles long and 400 feet wide is the largest in the northern hemisphere. It is snow white and 98.5% pure, contains more potash, another vital war chemical than any other salt mine in the world save Stassfurt, Germany. This is a general view of the mine showing mine shaft. Located 1,600 feet from the Atlantic ocean in the northwest, N.S., it is the only salt mine within a stone's throw of water transportation.
