Vermont Mine - Abandoned Mine Lands Project

Vermont Mine entrance 
Photo: One of five open adits, and one caved adit at the site.  The area is reasonably accessible via 2WD vehicle, and, given the easy access to the mine workings, the site poses a significant safety issue.  Most of the adits were flooded with flowing water and were not further examined beyond the portal, but cans and other debris indicate recent human entry.  Sampling of the mine water at high flow is anticipated in the spring of 2001.
