It was during 1928, when the Murray Algoma Prospect was discovered by a guy who notice gold on his very stake land, who became identified as R. Patterson. The claim was later sold to another prospector known as W.H Reed. A small amount of prospecting was then carried out by N. Bond as he had optioned this property from W. H. Reed in 1929. Most of the land at this time was being further stripped, trenched, and a geophysical Mapping program was undertaken.
Explorations on the Murray Algoma Mine were first started in 1934, when the prospect was being explored by the newly incorporated Murray Algoma Gold Mines, Limited. It was at this point in time, when surface trenching, stripping, and conducting a 13 diamond drill program on the property. Diamond Drilling had gave of intersections of 0.20 ounces Au per ton over 3.5 feet, and another intersection had given off 0.13 ounces Au per ton over 5.5 feet from 1,500 feet in total length of core.
Development planning at the time was aimed at mining this property by the establishment of open-cut methods in 1935. Much of the work at this time was also being completed at a small scale throughout the operating year of 1935, and would continue to July before being suspended. The property at this time had also consisted of 18 claims, in historical township 28, Range 25, within the District of Algoma, Ontario, Canada. It wasn't till July, 1935, when work was once again commenced and a 2 mill power line was constructed from Hawk Junction to the Property. A few structures at the time were also erected which included a compressor house, blacksmith shop, cookery, and stable. By the end of 1935, a 220 cubic foor Sullivan Compressor, driven by a 50 H.P Motor, and an 1,800-gallon centrifugal pump, driven by a 5 H.P motor, had been installed.
Work on the Murray Algoma Prospect was continued on a much smaller scale then most mining operations in 1936. During this time period a 20-ton amalgamation mill was also constructed, and had included a 9 by 16-inch Jaw Crusher, a 5 1/2 by 8 inch Jaw Crusher, a 6 by 8-foot pebble mill, disc classifier, wilfley table, and amalgamation equipment. The mill within the operating year of 1936, was operated on steady basis from November, to Decemeber for a total oof 112 hours, and milled at about 120-tonnes. Production that came from the mill was mainly taken from surface mining operations that were done with a 220-cubic-foot Sullivan Compressor. Electricity at the time was also being taken from the Great Lakes Power Company in Hawk Junction, Ontario, Canada.
The last period of operation for the Murray Algoma Gold Mines, Limited was by the end of the operation year in 1937. All the work that was completed on the Algoma Murray Mine was done at a much smaller scale until the middle of August. It was during this time period when a total of 500-tonnes of surface ore was mined, and testing in the 20-ton amalgamation mill.
