Lemon Mine, Alberta, Canada
The Lost Lemon Gold Mine, Alberta, Canada
We haven't been able to track down a great deal of
information on this story yet, but it certainly sounds intriguing.
Some time around 1870 American prospectors searching for
gold in the Alberta Rockies are supposed to have discovered
a rich vein somewhere near the town of Coleman in the
Crowsnest Pass area.
The southern area of the province of Alberta is not thought
to have naturally occurring gold in exploitable quantities, unlike British Columbia to
the west, which makes this treasure tale even more
interesting to us.
Check out the links below for further information, they are
the best sources we have come across so far. The second
link, a video clip from CBC Edmonton News is particularly
interesting, but if you have more information about the Lost
Lemon Mine please
email me or visit the
Lost Mines, Caves & Tunnels forum
Help
