Dome Mine & Dome Mine Extension

Back in 1909, Jack Wilson staked claims on a considerable amount of property in the Porcupine area. After Wilson's party used up all their licences, they began to stake claims illegally. Then they went to Haileybury for more licences, which turned out to be a good thing since any prospector could have taken them over, including the owners of the site of the future Dome Mine. That same year the Canadian Copper Company purchased the site with a down payment of $75,000.
