A former lode Cu mine. The Eagle Exploration was located near present day Twin Lakes. Originally held by the Great Western Copper Mining Company, 160 acres were set off and worked by the Eagle Mining Company in 1851. The Eagle worked four veins on the surface and another vein opened by a shaft. Work continued through 1853 when the newly formed Shawmut Mining Company absorbed the Eagle and adjacent Caledonia Mine lands. It is said that the locations can be visited, but is a very difficult trek and should not be attempted without a 4x4.

Mineralization is a secondary enrichment deposit.
