Thanx for the pics, that was a good sized mill for sure!
I went out to the mill about an hour North of here to get some pics and there it was gone!
I might have some old pics of it somewhere, I'll dig.
I was talking to one of the guys who worked there, funny how he summed up the closure:
Quote:
Union: We want more money.
Tembec: You can't have it.
Union: Then we'll go on strike!
Tembec: Go ahead, won't do you any good.
Union: What are you going to do... close the mill?
Tembec: Hmmmm
Union: Crap.

I will take more pictures of the size of this mill, its spread out up the hill and down below where i took most of my pictures
Based on the camera position, and accounting for spherical aberration in the lens if it is a wide angle lens, then the visible grade up the side of the escarpment looks to be about 3.5%. That's the best I can do as a guesstimate.

The whole layout is ka-put now, taking the walls down in a week or so for re-insulation.
I'm already planning the new mill tho, your pics will help!
