Fact 1Fifty years ago this week, prospectors first drilled for zinc outside of Bathurst. What they found led to the creation of one of the biggest zinc mines in the world.
It all started with a fluke discovery made by one University of New Brunswick student.
Today, Ben Baldwin spends time pruning the raspberry bushes on his farm in Miramichi. But 50 years ago, he was working on a thesis for his Masters in Geology. His professor asked him to analyze some rocks that had been sitting around his office for 10 years.
Baldwin's discovery surprised them both. "The first time I looked at the rocks under the microscope, I saw lead and zinc mineralization."
The rocks came from an old iron mine outside of Bathurst. What Baldwin didn't realize was that his find would eventually lead to a multi-million- dollar mining operation.
Bathurst City Councillor Hugh Comeau says the mine sparked a booming community. "It's been the most important thing that ever happened to Bathurst. When the mines were discovered, everybody swarmed Bathurst and it just kept going and going."
But it won't go on forever. The zinc is almost gone and the mines will close in five to seven years.
"In 50 years it's gone from zero back to almost zero again, which is unfortunate," says Baldwin.
But the geologist-turned-farmer hasn't given up hope yet. When he's not working on his farm, Baldwin does exploration work with an American company ? always hoping to make another chance discovery.

Fact 1*Ben Baldwin will forever be remembered by many Miramichiers and New Brunswickers as the farmer who used his scientific knowledge to take on the polluters of Miramichi. Ben died peacefully at his home in Miramichi on July 7, 2017 at the age of 86.
founder of the Miramichi Environmental Society and a former board member of the Conservation Council of New Brunswick, Ben was a geologist and an environmentalist when being an environmentalist wasn’t cool nor easy.

An edition of Harrowsmith magazine from 1991 features Ben in its hometown hero series. Ben told the reporter, “Somebody has to speak out. It’s nothing particularly heroic on my part. I care about what’s happening. You get disgusted, and it takes a lot of physical energy. But as long as we live here, we can’t avoid being involved in environmental issues. We breathe the air too; we can’t just sit back and ignore the stink.”
almost immediately upon his return from Western Canada to live a life on his family farm in Miramichi in 1985, Ben soon responded to remedy a local farmer’s concerns of chemicals oozing onto her property from the Domtar Wood Preserving Plant, and then to a long list of other environmental problems plaguing Miramichi.

“Ben was a big guy with a big heart who stood up for what he believed in. I had the good fortune to know Ben as a friend, and my life is the richer for it,” wrote David Coon, who worked with Ben during both their time with the Conservation Council of New Brunswick.
earliest memory of Ben is of my dad, Donald Glynn, and Ben talking about their vegetables at the Miramichi Agricultural Exhibition on a hot summer day in August. Ben’s vegetables from Spruce Shade Farms almost always took first prize. Whenever dad spoke of Ben, it was always with such respect — an admiration shared by many across the province.
was the partner of Inka Milewski, the Conservation Council’s former science advisor. The Conservation Council family expresses condolences and love to Inka and Ben’s children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
