History of the Croesus Mine at Munro-Croesus Project: Delve into the historical significance of the Croesus Mine, a cornerstone of Onyx Gold's Munro-Croesus Project. This mine, steeped in a rich history of gold production, represents a promising indication for exploration initiatives. Established in 1914, the Croesus Mine has remained a focal point of Ontario's gold mining landscape. Its reputation for bonanza-grade gold production is substantiated by tangible artifacts, such as the five Croesus mine gold specimens housed in the esteemed Royal Ontario Museum. These specimens collectively weigh 85 pounds and contain 480.7 ounces of gold, boasting an impressive yield of 11,310 ounces gold per short ton. Adjacent to the Munro-Croesus property, significant multi-million ounce bulk tonnage gold deposits further underscore the region's geological wealth. Noteworthy projects include Fenn-Gib and Tower Gold, alongside the operational Black Fox underground gold mine. Historically, between 1915 and 1936, the Croesus Mine yielded 14,859 ounces of gold from 5,333 short tons, boasting an average grade of 2.78 ounces per ton gold. This production figure excludes ore directly shipped to the Royal Canadian Mint, emphasizing the mine's substantial contributions to the gold supply chain. As we reveal the exposed Croesus vein in the mine shaft captured in the photo, we're reminded of the grit and ingenuity that built its legacy. This snapshot of geological history isn't just about the past—it hints at exciting possibilities for future exploration. At Onyx Gold, we are constantly reminded of the legacy of the Croesus Mine—a symbol of Ontario's rich mining heritage and a catalyst for ongoing exploration endeavors.

I probably drilled one of those holes back in 2008 when Constantine Metals Res owned it.
