Site # 2 – The Glory Hole

     The ‘Glory Hole’ is an open pit connected to underground workings. Ore was mined from the sides of the pit and passed downward to a level below where it was loaded into cars and trammed to the nearby Townsite shaft for hoisting to the surface. Along the walls of the Glory Hole one gets a rare glimpse of a cross-section of mine workings.

 

In 2021, Ontario Northland has installed K-rails to limit access to the property pending a risk evaluation report. This report was supposed to be done in the summer of 2021, so use extra caution in this area.
