What precious metal did both McIntyre Mines and the Kemess Mine dig for?
McIntyre Mines The McIntyre mine is an abandoned underground gold mine in Schumacher, Ontario, Canada, which has earned a place in Canadian mining history as one of the nation's most important mines. Its iconic headframe, located near downtown Timmins, has come to represent the entire Porcupine Gold Rush. The McIntyre also yielded a considerable amount of copper over its life.
Aktogay Mine Aktogay Mine is a copper mine under production in the Karaganda Region ( (Kazakh: Қарағанды облысы, Qarağandı oblısı) of Kazakhstan. It is an "open-pit" type quarry currently under development. It will contain an open pit, as well as a concentrator to produce copper cathodes, although molybdenum is also expected to be extracted as well. The site contains a large copper deposit, as well as a molybdenum-rich sulfide deposit. It is expected to contain around 123 million tonnes of copper, as well as another 2.063 billion tons of sulfide-molybdenum. The projected cost to build it is somewhere around $2.3 billion.
