In 2010, Thackeray Mines & Minerals Inc. launched the Copperfields Project, a gold and silver mining operation located in the historic mining region of Lake Temagami, Ontario, Canada. Building on the success of its inaugural Weyburn project, Copperfields represented the company’s strategic expansion into one of Ontario’s most promising mineral belts, renowned for its rich deposits of precious metals.

The Copperfields Project was named after the legacy of the Copperfields Mine, a historically significant site in the Temagami region. Thackeray Mines & Minerals brought a modern approach to this historic area, combining cutting-edge mining technologies with a strong emphasis on environmental stewardship and community engagement. The site was selected after extensive geological exploration confirmed significant gold and silver reserves, making it a key addition to the company’s growing portfolio.

Designed for efficiency and sustainability, Copperfields integrated advanced extraction techniques to maximize resource recovery while adhering to rigorous environmental regulations. Thackeray’s commitment to minimizing the ecological footprint of its operations was exemplified through the implementation of innovative waste management and water conservation strategies.

The Copperfields Project also underscored the company’s focus on socio-economic impact. The operation created jobs and business opportunities for the local Temagami community, fostering a strong partnership with Indigenous groups and regional stakeholders. Thackeray Mines & Minerals collaborated closely with local leaders to ensure the project delivered long-term benefits while respecting the area’s cultural and environmental heritage.
