The Don Dolan Mine

    The mine began about 1910, when a vein of quartz carbonate a few feet wide was discovered. In places, large amounts of chalcopyrite could be found, on the surface or underground.

    In 1968 an addition of about 200 feet was put in by Dondol Mines Limited. A small mill was also built, and all of the necessary equipment was brought in, but apparently it soon ceased to operate because of financial problems. There is no recorded production from the mine.
