Description

The Walker Mineralogical Club is Canada's oldest Mineral club. For over 60 years, the Walker Club has met monthly, in Toronto, to listen to high quality speakers delivering presentations on subjects mineralogical.

For many years during the 1990s and 2000s, the Red Lake Mine, located at Balmertown, Ontario, was the richest Gold Mine in the world and continues to be one of the largest and richest underground mines in the world. I had a contract with Goldcorp Inc., for many years, to collect, prepare, market and sell high grade gold specimens to collectors, investors, museums, universities, etc., and so became very familiar with this mine. Before Goldcorp Inc. found the “High Grade Zone”, the mine was known as the Arthur White Mine and had operated for decades as a modest producer of the yellow metal. Since the discovery of the High Grade Zone, the mine was re-named “The Red Lake Mine” and was modernized to become the envy of the gold mining world. This presentation outlines details of the mine, a smattering of geology, operations and lots of photos of gold specimens!.
