Granduc Mine
The Granduc Mine is a historic copper producer located in the prolific Stewart Mining Camp in NW B.C. Historically the property produced 420 million pounds of copper (plus gold and silver credits) mined across approximately 750 meters strike length until the mine closed due to low copper prices in 1984. Bell Copper has drilled successfully within a 4 kilometre range of the original mine.
