LeRoi Mine Tour - 2012 update - unfortunately there will not be any underground tours for the forseeable future, as Tec Cominco, owner of the underground mine conducts studies and it's future availability to the public.
The hard rock gold mine on site - as it was at the turn of the century.You can get a sense the historic presence of that hardy breed of men who laboriously drilled and blasted and hand mucked the 80 miles (128 km) of underground workings in the Rossland mines in search for ore that averaged 0.5 ounces per ton in gold, 1% copper and 0.6 ounces per ton of silver in the excellent mine's museum and the surrounding grounds. There is a video of the underground mine that visitors may view in the museum.
