Sunday Lake Set to Reopen Feb 1
Sunday Lake mine will resume work around February 1 with about 200 workers expected when active mining begins. The head frame is complete and equipment is being installed in the engine house. Much initial work will focus on cleaning the shaft drifts and levels before ore can be hoisted. Some crews have moved to Tronwood for a new head frame at Bonnie mine, while no early restart is seen at Morgan or Wakefield Tron properties. The Thomas Furnace Co may sell its Milwaukee furnace holding but keep Morgan mine, planning new output contracts east of here.
