It was considered to mine the purest copper ore in Canada. The mine closed in 1972 and is now flooded by water. Ruins of the Copperfields mill are present as fountains. It is possible to find ores and minerals in the scrap heaps of the old mine such as chalcopyrite, pyrite, bornite, malachite, dolomite, hessite, merenskyite, millerite, palladium, quartz and other minerals.
