An Abandoned Molybdenite Mine (Ontario)

DO NOT BECOME A STATISTIC KEEP OUT OF ABANDONED MINES
Some thoughtless individual has comprimised both grates on the adit of this mine. This is both destructive and dangerous as it leaves the working open to the untrained. It is highly unlikely that the individual(s) who did this were prepared for the potential hazards lurking in the dark within. Its also harmfull to the bat population as disturbance can lead to death for the bats. IF YOU HAVE NOT BEEN TRAINED KEEP OUT OF ABANDONED MINES! THE HAZARDS ARE DEADLY AND UNFORGIVING.

You start with the history of the area you are in. Regardless of where you are in Ontario there is mining history. The genral history will give you an idea of what was mined. Research in the Geological Survey of Ontario records helps pin down old mine locations. Not to be overlooked is the publications by Ann Sabina. Though most are quite dated (I belive she is deceased now) they do provide you with a place to start for mine locations.

I like the warning "vandals have made it unsafe by opening the grate, but scince I'm trained let's go in", ha ha! guess the training didn't include a spelling test! : )

I am a geological engineer, I want to find some old mines in ontario to explore.  How do I get started?
