Other/historical names associated with this locality:
Carmel Antimony Company
Sulfide deposit located on the east side of Harvey Stream. The mine is located a little over a mile east of the village. Work began in the spring of 1880, and it remained operational for several years; however, it is unknown when mining activity stopped. Flooding from Harvey Stream could be a likely cause for the mine's decline.
Remnants of the mine include a shaft and a large pit that may be the remnants of the ore house (now filled with water and sediment) 5 meters from Harvey Stream, with a tailings pile adjacent to them.
The locality is not open to the public - accessed by landowner permission only (2026).
