Hi Lorne; Hey,it's good to hear from another local guy. It's been about fifteen years since I worked at Creighton but I think my memory serves well.Anyway I just called Creighton Mine and I have the nine shaft first aid man walking over to the ramp from the warm room to the cage.There used to be a sign there with the footage displayed.He should be calling me back in a few minutes. I want not to tell a lie. Regards : John

Well Lorne,I just spoke to the first-aid man and he confirmed the depth at 7,138 feet.Also found it on INCO's web page at the Chronology of Nickel year 1969. Sinking was completed on the deepest continuous mine shaft in the Western Hemisphere. This was the 7,138 foot No. 9 shaft at Inco's 69-year old Creighton Mine in the Sudbury District. Guess I lost a foot over the years or maybe I was standing on a Bullhose at the time. P.S. A few years later this record was surpassed by a few feet at the now closed Macassa Mine in Kirkland Lake.
