Everyone loves stories about old mines, lost treasures and ghost towns. There are always stories of these towns that sprung up out of nowhere. Places like Dawson City Yukon and Barkerville BC are two of the more well known and have been turned into tourist attractions.
Sadly what most fail to realize is the that it took a propsector to find that original deposit that turned that area into a mining camp and in turn into a town.
Just like years ago, todays junior miners are the modern version of the same old prospectors that discovered these desposits and made built these mines.
We will be adding stories to this page as time permitts. Be sure to stop back from time to time to read up on these old towns and camps that are getting a second look.
