Notes du photographe:<\/span><\/strong><\/h6>\n
Les photos ont \u00e9t\u00e9 prises entre 2007 et 2012.<\/h6>\n
Dans 2 exploitations mini\u00e8res et 5 sessions diff\u00e9rentes.<\/h6>\n
1- Mine Pers\u00e9v\u00e9rance, Matagami, Qu\u00e9bec (zinc)<\/h6>\n
2- Kidd Creek Mine, Timmens, Ontario (cuivre, zinc)<\/h6>\n
(Kidd Creek est la plus profonde des mines de m\u00e9taux de base dans le monde. La profondeur maximale de pr\u00e8s de 10 000 pieds (3000 m) et sa latitude nord signifie que le fond de la mine est le point accessible le plus proche du centre de la Terre.)<\/h6>\n

Photographer notes:<\/span> <\/strong>
\nPhotos were taken between 2007 and 2012.
\n2 mines and 5 different shootings.
\n1 – Perseverance Mine, Matagami, Quebec (Zinc)
\n2 – Kidd Creek Mine, Timmens, Ontario (Cooper and Zinc)<\/h6>\n
(Kidd Creek is the deepest\u00a0base metal<\/span><\/a><\/span>\u00a0mine in the world. The maximum depth of almost 10,000 feet (3,000\u00a0m) and its northerly latitude mean that the bottom of the mine is the closest accessible point to the centre of the Earth.)
