Work was first done on the property, in 1907, by the late Mr. R. A. Jamieson, of Renfrew, and later on, in 1915-16, was worked on lease by the International Molybdenum Company, Limited. Two 20-foot pits, which have been connected by an open trench, were sunk in the gneiss-limestone contact. Between these pits there is an inclined shaft.

During the latter part of 1915 about 80 tons of hand-cobbed ore was sent direct to Orillia. The greatest part of this was cobbed to 20 or 30 percent. MoS, and l-1/2 tons was pure flake. In 1916 recorded shipments to Renfrew and Orillia amounted to 73 tons of 3 per cent, ore, and 12.5 tons of hand-cobbed ore assaying 18 per cent. MoSi. It is stated that in all, 285 tons of ore, containing approximately 12,760 pounds of pure molybdenite was taken from this mine, but by whom and when the balance of this ore was shipped is not recorded.(Eardley-Wilmot).
