A map published by G Langlands of Campbeltown in 1801 shows an old copper mine at Craigmure about two miles from Auchindrain on the footpath to Loch Awe. However, nothing is known of this mine until 1838, when ore from it was sampled by the British and Foreign Copper Company. In 1839 the Duke of Argyll had an adit driven. Due to a combination of geological problems and poorer than anticipated quality of ore, the project met with little success and was abandoned in 1842.
