Mining Company Acquires More Land


Another mining company is beefing up its assets in the Rainy River district.

Mineral Mountain is acquiring 1,100 hectares from Whetstone Minerals.

The property is located 70 kilometres northeast of the Rainy River gold deposit and next to the former Straw Lake Beach Gold Mine.

The mine, now owned by Mineral Mountain, operated between 1938 and 1945.
