A Gold mine located in the Destor deformation Zone in Taylor Township.

The Porphyry and West Porphyry zones underlie parts of lots 6 and 7, Concessions II and III in Taylor Township. Both porphyry zones are hosted within the Porcupine–Destor deformation zone and were discovered by Hollinger Consolidated Gold Mines Limited in 1938.

The Phorpyry Zone has been explored by surface and underground diamond drilling. Bulk samples and minor amounts of ore have been extracted from a shaft and limited underground drifting.
