Period

Canada
Beginning with the Klondike Gold Rush, the economic potential of mining in Northern Canada has fueled immigration to the region. As a result mining operations in Northern Canada have often been central to the growth of communities. The Con mine in Yellowknife, NWT was first put into production in 1938 and ceased operations in 2004, extracting gold from hard rock for 66 years. With many residents of Yellowknife involved in mining operations at the Con mine over the course of 66 years mining became part of the heritage of the community. This bit was sold by the NWT Mining Heritage Society, Yellowknife NWT, a non-profit organization committed to preserving the mining and geological history of the Northwest Territories , to commemorate the closure of the Con Mine. Although it was sold to raise funds for the society, the bit speaks to the cultural value placed on mining in the region.
Function
Normally used in conjunction with a rock drill to excavate ore in a mine. However, this bit is painted gold and was sold by the NWT Mining Heritage Society to as a commemorative souvenir to celebrate the Yellowknife Gold Mines, specifically the Con Mine (1938-2004).
Technical
Typical example of drill bits used in hard rock mining
