#NovaScotia’s first #iron mines were developed in 1825 at #NictauxFalls, #AnnapolisCounty.

Also in 1825, the #Annapolis Iron Mining Co. built a blast furnace at #MooseRiver (#Clementsport) to smelt the magnetic ore recovered from three seams in #Clementsvale (the Miller, Potter and Milbury), as well as to accommodate production from the #Nictaux deposits.
