Red Lake Gold Shore Mines consisted of 23 mining claims just west of the townsite of Red Lake. The claims were staked in 1926 by Colin Campbell, J.B. St. Paul and Jack W. Campbell. Red Lake Gold Shore Mines incorporated in December 1927 and began doing surface work and exploration. A steam power plant was built on the site between 1928-1929 as surface work continued. Work was halted in 1930 by a forest fire that destroyed the power plant.
It took the company four years to refinance, and in 1934 a 167-metre (550 feet) shaft was sunk, followed by a mill in 1936. Red Lake Gold Shore Mines began production in 1936, pouring its first gold brick on September 1st, 1936. The mine was only in production for two years and produced 21,100 ounces of gold. In 1938 the mine ceased operations, and Jack Hammell purchased the land, equipment and mill for Hasaga Gold Mines.
