Madison Mine; Copper Creek; National Lead Company; North American Lead Company; Missouri Cobalt Mine; Buckeye
A former Copper-Lead-Cobalt-Nickel occurrence/mine owned by the National Lead Company. Started 1944 and closed 1961.
Underground mining began at the Madison Mine in 1847, at which time copper was the main metal of interest. This mining ended in 1849 but the mine reopened during the period 1860-1863 during which time lead and copper were mined. Several different companies owned the Madison Mine between 1901 and 1961 and removed lead, copper, cobalt and nickel ores.
The facility has reopened under the management of US Strategic Metals (formerly Missouri Cobalt) in 2019 under the Madison Mine Project, and is still in development.
