Ox Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 Gold mine. And a lot of clear cut along the way. https://www.google.com/maps/place/ON-652,+Ontario,+Canada/@49.9808761,-79.799432,19250m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m5!3m4!1s0x4d22e8f77d5f8409:0xb3ae0486c24f4c5d!8m2!3d49.44608!4d-80.473326 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

revrnd Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 Detour Lake mine? I never thought of it. I just figured it was for log haulage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always had the impression that the mine was more between Iroquois falls and Cochrane. Zoomed way out with Google Earth. I think you can see it from Mars with a decent telescope....

stoney Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 We ran into a guy having dinner at JR Bar one night while there on a trip, he was telling us that he just finished escorting one of the workers from the mine for not following the rules...think it was because of drinking, as far as I know, the rules of working any mine are extremely strict when it comes to drinking or drugs.

Guys are in the camp for a number of days/weeks, and nothing is allowed even in the down time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reminds me of an American friend (who had a cottage nearby) talking about a neighbour's son working on a diamond drilling crew in northern Canada. "It's a great job!" He went on about the pay & work/time off rotation. I explained to him the situation/locations. He had no idea where this work took the guy. Plus I told him a lot of the projects are done in the winter because of the muskeg needs to be frozen to work on, resulting in working in temps he'd never experienced here in southern Ontario.
