Fountain on Osisko Lake

In the early 1900s, the region was a vast forest with rivers running through and inaccessible lakes until the day a prospector from Nova Scotia explored the territory in 1911 and discovered huge amounts of copper. Rouyn became a mining town in 1926 and still is.

Noranda Mines grew into a vast mining empire from the mine which operated from 1927 to 1966. The copper smelting plant is one of the world largest copper and precious metal producers, as well as the biggest recycler of electronic components in North America.
