Wilderness Calling Cottages - Kirkland Lake, Ontario Since the early part of this century, the area has boasted of the mining of silver, zinc, nickel, copper, lead, tin, cadmium, and more gold than any other source in North America. A construction crew, building Government road in Kirkland Lake, accidentally used rock for the roadbed from the piles of Gold rather then from the waste rock and the legendary "Mile of Gold" was born!
