Motherlode was first staked and explored in 1891, with commercial production commencing in 1901. The mine and smelter closed in 1918 due to decreasing ore grades. Woodgreen Copper Mines Ltd.
put the Motherlode Mine back in production in 1956 as an open pit operation, and operated the mine until 1962, at which time it was permanently closed.
The historic Motherlode underground and open pit mine produced close to 175,000 ounces of Au, 700,000 ounces of Ag and 77 million pounds of Cu at an average grade of 1.27 g/t Au, 5.04 g/t Ag and 0.82% Cu from a skarn between 1900 and 1962 (British Columbia Minfile 082ESE034).
