Kanichee Mine
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Kanichee Mine in Temagami, Ontario, was a mine that produced 3 million lbs of copper, 1.2 million lbs of nickel with gold, silver and PGM credits. The copper and nickel mineralization occurs within a northwest trending extension of a larger gabbroic intrusion. The extension is about 240 m long, 90 m wide and plunges 23° to the southeast and is altered to serpentine and amphibole, while the main gabbroic intrusion is relatively unaltered. Pyrite, pyrrhotite and chalcopyrite are the primary minerals present, occurring as semi-massive to massive veins within the extension zone. There is a significant amount of gold, silver and platinum-palladium occur with the sulphides.
