Which of the two mines, Discovery Mine or Big Dan Mine, produced more gold?
Big Dan Mine Big Dan Mine is an abandoned underground mine in Northeastern Ontario, Canada. It is located about 1 km southwest of Net Lake and just west of the Ontario Northland Railway in east-central Strathy Township. It is named after Dan O'Connor, who first claimed the site in the 1890s.
Eureka Diamond The Eureka Diamond was the first diamond discovered in South Africa. It weighed 21.25 carat , and was found near Hopetown on the Orange River by a 15 year old boy named Erasmus Stephanus Jacobs in 1867. The diamond, cut to a 10.73 carat cushion-shaped brilliant, is currently on display at the Mine Museum in Kimberley. The discovery of diamonds in South Africa led to the Kimberley Diamond Rush, and marked the beginning of the Mineral Revolution.
