Which is currently more valuable, Temagami-Lorrain Mine or Meadowbank Gold Mine?
Temagami-Lorrain Mine Temagami-Lorrain Mine is an abandoned surface and underground mine in Northeastern Ontario, Canada. It is located about 10 km northeast of the town of Temagami near Sauvé Lake in central Cassels Township. It is named after the Temagami-Lorrain Mining Company, which carried out work on the property in the early 1900s.
Kakamega gold rush The Kakamega gold rush occurred at Kakamega, Kenya in the early 1930s, fueled partly by the reports of the geologist Albert Ernest Kitson. In his report for the Colonial Office Kitson suggested that possibly as much as half of the gold being prospected was wasted by amateur techniques. In an article for the magazine "The Spectator", Kitson compared the influx of amateur gold-prospectors to the Klondike Gold Rush in Canada in 1897-8 : ""The road to Kakamega now resembles a miniature 'trail of 98' without the snow. Old mining men, from ex-Klondyke Pioneers to Australian backwoodsmen, are hurrying to the spot"". But it seems that Kitson's initial report had helped create the rush in the first place by highlighting the rich pickings available. As" The Spectator" noted ""Since the publication of Sir Albert Kitson's report, the population of the Kakamega goldfields had doubled"." Kitson's article in this magazine merely fueled the rush still further.
