    Highway 914 is a provincial highway in the north-west and far north regions of the Canadian province of Saskatchewan. The highway begins at a turn in Highway 165 and officially ends at Key Lake mine. It does not intersect with any provincially-owned highways between Highway 165 and Key Lake Mine. Along its entire length, it passes through only one community, Pinehouse. [1] It is about 268 kilometres (167 mi) long. [2] [3] [4]

    Route description

    Along Highway 914's route, it passes by notable lakes such as Pinehouse Lake and Gordon Lake, crosses the Churchill River, and follows Haultain River for much of its length. Gordon Lake Recreation Site is accessible from the highway. [5]

    Although the official highway map of Saskatchewan shows the highway terminating at Key Lake, Google Maps and its aerial photography shows the road actually continues on to the McArthur River uranium mine further to the north. Access to this portion of the road is restricted, and is therefore not part of the official highway network. [6] [7]

    Highway 17 is a highway in Canada that straddles and criss-crosses the Alberta–Saskatchewan provincial border.

    The McArthur River Uranium Mine, in northern Saskatchewan, Canada, is the world's largest high-grade uranium deposit.

    The Key Lake mine is a former uranium mine in Saskatchewan, Canada. It is 570 kilometres (350 mi) north of Saskatoon by air on the southern rim of the uranium-rich Athabasca Basin. Key Lake was initially developed to open-pit mine two nearby uranium ore deposits: the Gaertner deposit and the Deilmann deposit. Mining of this ore ceased in the late 1990s; the Key Lake mill now processes uranium ore from the McArthur River mine and from existing stockpiles on site. High-grade ore from McArthur river is blended with lower grade local rock before being passed through the mill. The mill has a permitted annual production capacity of 25 million pounds of U3O8. In addition, ammonium sulfate fertilizer is produced as a byproduct from used reagents. The pits of the mined out local deposits are being used as mill tailings management facilities.
