Cape Rosier Zn-Cu-P6 Mine; Calahan Mining Co.; Harborside Mine
A former Cu-Pb-Zn-Ag-Cd occurrence/mine located on private land. Owned by Harborside Mining Corporation (1978) & by the State of Maine (1978). The USGS MRDS database stated accuracy for this locality is 1,000 meters.
The Callahan Mine, initially an underground operation with three shafts and later a 150-acre zinc-copper open-pit mine, is located approximately 1,000 feet east-southeast of Harborside Village. It is a massive sulfide deposit, consisting primarily of sphalerite and chalcopyrite, and was discovered in 1880 at low tide by a clam digger. Mining was conducted adjacent to and beneath a tidal estuary (Goose Pond).
The mine's first period of operation ended in 1887. There were sporadic efforts at mining until 1964, and then Callahan Mining Corporation began major open-pit operations in 1968. The mine was approximately 600 to 1,000 feet in diameter and 320 feet deep. Almost 800,000 tons of ore and 5 million tons of waste rock were removed from the mine. The average ore grade was 1.30% copper, 4.91% zinc, 0.35% lead, and 0.50 ounces per ton of silver. The mine closed in 1972 and was flooded by the opening of a dam at Goose Pond.
Background
The Callahan Mining Corp. site is located about 1,000 feet east-southeast of Harborside Village in Brooksville, Hancock County, Maine.
Zinc-copper sulfide ore deposits at the site were discovered in 1880. The mine operated from the late 1800s until its closure in 1972, when the Callahan Mining Corporation (Callahan) divested the property to individual landowners.
The ore exploration from the 1940s to 1950s found the ore contained zinc, copper, lead, arsenic, and cadmium. In the 1960s, the State of Maine passed legislation that permitted creating and constructing two dams in 1967 that were used to drain the 75-acre Goose Pond estuary and thereby allow open-pit mining. The main period of operation was from 1968 to 1972.
The site’s former Callahan Mine property is an elongated 120-acre property oriented north-south along the east side of Goose Falls Road. The site also includes the Goose Pond estuary (approximately 75 acres) and private properties that abut the former Callahan Mine property to the north, west, and south. The site is situated at 44° 21’ 05.9” north latitude and 68° 48’ 35.5” west longitude. Goose Pond and Holbrook Island Sanctuary State Park are located immediately east of the former Callahan Mine property. A number of private residences and seasonal homes are located adjacent to the former Callahan Mine property on Goose Falls Road, Cape Rosier Road, and Old Mine Lane. Privately held properties border the site’s former Callahan Mine property to the north, west, and south. The site currently consists of a submerged open pit, the former mine operations area, a series of waste rock piles, and a tailings impoundment. The three waste rock piles contain about 1.7 million cubic yards of waste rock that was removed to access the ore in the open pit. The former mine operations area includes the crushing and flotation operations as well as the administrative and maintenance facilities. The tailings impoundment has a 21-acre footprint, including the rock buttress, and contains about 700,000 cubic yards of tailings. Portions of the site that include waste rock, tailings, access roads, ore, or mine operation remnants encompass approximately 75 acres. The areas with waste rock or tailings are for the most part un-vegetated and barren. The Goose Pond estuary was drained during mining operations. Portions of the estuary were used as a settling basin for flotation mill effluent. The former open pit mine now resides within the estuary.

Mineralization is a polymetallic deposit (mineral occurrence model information: Model code: 184; USGS model code: 28a; deposit model name: massive sulfide, kuroko; Mark3 model number: 93). Local alteration includes talc and carbonate. Local rocks include rocks of the Devonian-Silurian Castine Formation.
Workings include surface and underground openings comprised of an open pit and 2 adits collared within the pit.
