Visit to Canada's first copper mine - Capleton, Québec

We had a nice visit to the Eastern Townships on July 29th.  One of our stops was Canada's first copper mine in Capleton.  During the 1 hour visit to the mine shaft, you descend 50 m of the total 3 km depth of the mine.  The operators have to pump out water that accumulates to keep the visiting area dry.  Well worth the money we paid!

Here is a good example of the malachite in this mine:
