A lead-zinc-silver mine in the East Kootenay District, North of Kimberley. Ore is in an immense replacement deposit (a complex, diatreme-hosted orebody). Owned by Consolidated Mining & Smelting Co. Underground workings to at least the 3,900 foot (1,200 metre) level. An open pit was also worked from 1951 to 1965.

The deposit was discovered in 1892. Mining started in 1909 and stopped in 2001.

The Sullivan mine is the type locality for mcgillite named after McGill University. The discovery site is the 42135 D raise (1945) in the Sullivan orebody.
