The Independence Mine was a larger producing mine in the Pine Creek region of the Coeur d'Alene mining district in Idaho. It produced lead, silver, and copper.[1] The mine claim borders the Bunker Hill Sullivan mine claim, and work in on the mine was stopped in the 1940s. It was a major producer during both world wars. It also had a large hand in the development of Pinehurst, Idaho.[1]
Its ore body was unique, and leads to question about the formation of silver valley and belt supergroup of which it was an ore body in the Prichard formation.[1]
