Painesdale Mine & Shaft Inc. is a mining company located in the town of Painesdale, Michigan. The company was founded in 1899 and has since then been involved in the mining of copper, nickel, and other minerals. The mine was originally operated by the Champion Mine Company, but it was later acquired by the Copper Range Company in the 1930s.

The mine is situated in the Keweenaw Peninsula, which is known for its rich mineral deposits. The Painesdale Mine is one of the largest copper mines in the region and has produced over 2 million tons of copper ore since its inception. The company operates several shafts and tunnels, which extend several thousand feet underground.

In addition to mining activities, the company also provides services such as ore processing and transportation. The ore is processed at the nearby mill and then transported to various locations for further processing.

Over the years, the company has faced several challenges including labor disputes and declining demand for copper. However, it has managed to stay afloat and remains an important employer in the region. Today, Painesdale Mine & Shaft Inc. continues to operate as a vital part of the local economy, providing jobs and contributing to the community.
