    Institutionele geschiedenis

    Algoma Ore Properties Limited was incorporated with Ontario Letters Patent in February 1936. It was a wholly owned subsidiary of Algoma Steel Corporation in Sault Ste. Marie and had the power to carry on the business of mining, to manufacture iron and steel and to sell products so produced and carry on the business of transporting its products. The Algoma Ore Properties Limited was also authorized to acquire any assets of Algoma Steel Corporation including its mining properties. In 1934 Sir James Dunn introduced his plan to develop iron ore from the Michipicoten Range and reopen the Helen Mine which had been closed in 1921. On July 28, 1939 Algoma Ore Properties Limited produced its first ton of sintered ore just a month prior to the outbreak of WW II. In 1950 an underground mine was opened at the Helen Mine site, one of the few in the world. In 1960, Algoma Ore Properties Limited was wound up and became the Algoma Ore Division of the Algoma Steel Corporation. On December 10, 1997, the decision to close down its mining operations in Michipicoten was made and the mines were closed in June, 1998.
