Audio Transcript: In 1669, the Intendant of New France, Jean Talon, sent Peré and Jolliet “to go and reconnoitre to see whether the copper mine situated to the north of Lake Ontario… is rich and of easy extraction.” Beginning from Sault Ste. Marie they explored the eastern shoreline of Lake Superior where they found many more mines.
