Notes edit
It looks like the company had operations in various locations and it may still exist. Here are some sources that have further information about the company that I have come up with from google:
- the company was involved in the Copper Mountain mine near Princeton. See wikimapia.
- likely the large mine operation south of Nanaimo called the Granby mine (see the bottom of this list)
- the history of the company, with its founders from Quebec followed by US leadership, along with the names of the companies it absorbed, mention of its operations in Anyox at Observatory Inlet (on Granby Bay), its Copper Mountain operations (see above) and its hydro electric operations are mentioned in "American Influence in Canadian Mining" By Elwood S. Moore, Stuart Bruchey that can be found in Google Books p75-77 (copyright info).
- DMWilson, The Virtual Crowsnest Highway talks about the operations of the company in various locations including Phoenix
- Granby is noted on this Alberta coal map
- Zapata Granby mentioned here is a successor of the company and it is still going on.
- The Grand Forks History page talks about the smelter operation of the company there.
- Granby was involed with others at Stewart, British Columbia in Granduc Mines Limited
- UofWashington has Preliminary Guide to the Granby Consolidated Mining Smelting and Power Company Records 1917-1928
- Great mining camps of Canada 2. The history and geology of the Anyox copper camp
- The company may have had US operations.
- The company had a lawyer on its staff in the early 70s.
There are more, but these are a start. --KenWalker | Talk 06:18, 28 March 2009 (UTC)
