About CAMCE...

CAMCE started out with two friends, Rob Schuette and Ron Snodgrass, the son of a retired miner. With a common passion for history and mine exploring the two formed this unique association. It has since grown to become a non-profit organization with a deep desire to record and preserve the history of the mines and mining camps of the west.

Why doesn't CAMCE publish the names of the mines?

Through experience CAMCE has found that mines have a greater chance of being vandalized when photos and locations are published together. CAMCE maintains an extensive database containing the history, coordinates, photographs and ownership of mines. It's with this database that CAMCE hopes to preserve information about these mines for future generations.

The CAMCE mine database is available to CAMCE members, researchers and public safety organizations.
