SIMPSON MINE SHAFT (BRUCE MINES, ONTARIO)

“The Simpson Copper Mine Shaft, a crucial piece of Canadian mining history, is located right in the town of Bruce Mines. The Bruce Mines, as they were collectively known, produced the first hard-rock copper in Canada in 1847. Having been restored to demonstrate copper mining of the 1800″s, the Simpson Shaft is open for guided tours during the summer months.”
