Formerly: Ives Mine, Eastman, Brome Co., Québec, Canada

Old copper mine operated in the period of 1866-1876 and around 1914-15. A small dump remains at the site which is now a camping ground (Camping de la mine de cuivre). Brochantite, langite, malachite and posnjakite are all post-mining minerals formed in the dump.
