Parvus Mines
Non-producing
Dickenson Mines subsidiary

Parvus Mines was part of the Dickenson Mines family of mining projects in Red Lake. The exploration project consisted of a group of 31 mining claims on St. Paul’s Bay. Several of the claims were staked during the Red Lake gold rush. Dome Mines performed a small amount of exploratory drilling before letting the claims lapse. In 1937, W.C. and J.E Durham staked 14 of the claims and created Durham Red Lake Mines Ltd. in 1945. Between 1945 and 1948, Durham Red Lake Mines did over 4,572 metres (15,000 feet) of diamond drilling. While they found some interesting gold values, it was not feasible to try and turn the claims into a mine.

In 1960, Dickenson Mines made an agreement with Durham Red Lake Mines (then called Consolidated Durham Mines and Resources) to take control of the Durham claims. Dickenson Mines contributed ten claims and finance an exploration program. Parvus Mines Ltd. was created on September 28, 1960 to take control of the group of claims.
​

​With Arthur W. White as president and director of the company, Parvus Mines conducted a drill program on the ten Dickenson claims, re-logged the old Durham drill core and surveyed the entire property. Parvus Mines added seven additional claims to their holdings between 1968 and 1972. In the early 1970’s, geophysical reconnaissance and surveys as well as a small drill program were done to test the property for base metals. No other information about the property is available.
