Welcome to my website providing both historic and current information about the Flambeau Mine near Ladysmith, Wisconsin.
-Laura Gauger (Duluth, Minnesota)
The Flambeau Mine (a Kennecott/Rio Tinto project) operated on the banks of the Flambeau River near Ladysmith, Wisconsin in the mid-1990s. This photo was taken in 1994 when the river flooded during heavy rains and came within 20 horizontal feet and 4 vertical feet of spilling into the mine pit.
