College of the Rockies Introduction to Geology instructor Katie Burles (far right) and her students were recently treated to a tour of some areas of the Bull River Mine site owned by Purcell Basin Minerals Inc. The mine, which was active in the 1960s and ‘70s, is currently working toward receiving a mine permit to reopen. Students received a tour of the processing plant as well as a surface tour that included information on safety, the history of the mine, the current state of development as well as the geology of the mine.
