A consolidated iron mining operation of the M. A. Hanna Co. Through closure in 1969, the Homer-Wauseca Group and predecessors had shipped 31.5 million tons of ore. The major component mines of this operation consisted of the Homer Mine, the Cardiff Mine, and the Wauseca Mine. Consolidation occurred in 1941.

The component mines and properties of the group are:
Homer Mine, W1/2-NW, NW-SW Sec. 23 T43N-R35W
-- South Homer property, NW-SW Sec. 23 T43N-R35W
Cardiff Mine, E1/2-NE, N1/2-SE Sec. 22 T43N-R35W
-- McGovern property, E1/2-NE Sec. 22 T43N-R35W
-- Keweenaw property, N1/2-SE Sec. 22 T43N-R35W
Wauseca Mine (Wauseca-Aaronson, Knowinski), SE-NW, SW-NE, NW-SE, NE-SW Sec. 23 T43N-R35W
-- Aronson property, E1/2-NW-SE Sec. 23 T43N-R35W
-- Minckler property, W1/2-NW-SE and NE-SW Sec. 23 T43N-R35W
