picture info	Big Dan Mine Big Dan Mine is an abandoned underground mining (hard rock), underground mine in Northeastern Ontario, Canada. It is located about southwest of Net Lake and just west of the Ontario Northland Railway in east-central Strathy Township. It is named after Dan O'Connor (prospector), Dan O'Connor, who first claimed the site in the 1890s. Mining operations began at the site in the early 1900s, making Big Dan one of the oldest mines in Temagami. Gold and silver were the mine's primary commodities, while arsenic was a secondary commodity. A forest fire destroyed much of the mining infrastructure on the site in 1907. Active mining operations on the site ceased following the fire, but mineral exploration has occurred there periodically since. Mineral exploration at Big Dan remained idle from the early 1970s to the early 1990s as a result of a land claim dispute applied by Temagami First Nations in Canada, First Nations. The mine consists of two shaft mining, shafts, an open cut and an adit. ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]
	Big Dan Shear Zone The Big Dan Shear Zone is a north–south trending shear zone in Northeastern Ontario, Canada, located in the municipality of Temagami. Geology The Big Dan Shear Zone was contemporaneous to volcanism due to the higher density of felsic dike (geology), dikes situated at the shear zone. These dikes are only present north of the Link Lake Deformation Zone, therefore they may be subvolcanic rock, subvolcanic feeders to the felsic lava flows to the south. Renewed tectonics, tectonism along the Big Dan Shear Zone displaced sediments east of the Ontario Northland Railway. This phase of tectonic activity along the Big Dan Shear Zone also displaced felsic dikes north of the shear zone. However, considerable displacement of the dikes at this location is unknown. The most recent tectonic activity of the Big Dan Shear Zone displaced a Proterozoic dike composed of diabase, which intersects the zone. A similar abundance of felsic dikes are adjacent to Arsenic Lake (Temagami), Arsenic Lake just w ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]
	Dan O'Connor (prospector) Daniel O'Connor (31 January 1864 – 30 March 1933) was a Canadian politician, businessman and prospector from Pembroke, Ontario. In the late 1880s, O'Connor moved to Sudbury where he became associated with economy, life and industry, becoming the town's second mayor in 1894. Later, O'Connor travelled north where he founded the town of Temagami and opened Lady Evelyn Hotel, the Temagami Inn and Ronnoco Hotel. When O'Connor moved to Temagami, he was hoping to find some mineral prospects. In 1899, O'Connor created test pits in east-central Strathy Township that later became Big Dan Mine, which is named after him. Other mines in Temagami that bare his name are Little Dan at Arsenic Lake and O'Connor near Lake Temagami. O'Connor continued to move northwards where he discovered deposits of gold. He moved to Connaught, Ontario and ran a general store. Personal life O'Connor was born in Pembroke, Ontario to Patrick O'Connor, and the family moved to Sudbury when he was young. His bro ...
