...bonanza was prospected-and is mostly owned-by Canada's veteran gold miner, Dome Mines Ltd. Engineers of Dome stumbled on the deposit last August when they were frantically looking for something to replace moribund gold digging. Dome will spend $250,000 for new facilities, hopes to mine over 2,000,000 Ib. of the stuff annually-roughly 6% of world production and enough to supply practically all Canadian steel mills.
