Tasu or Tassoo, also Old Tasu or Old Tasu Townsite, was an iron and copper (w/ precious metal sweeteners) open pit and underground mining operation and townsite located on the south shore of Tasu Sound in west-central Moresby Island in the Haida Gwaii of the North Coast of British Columbia, Canada. It ran from 1918 until the early 1980s, with the townsite growing full size in the early 1960s. The early iron mine was owned and worked by Japanese miners, with the mine finishing operation as Wesfrob Mine, owned by Falconbridge Nickel Mines.
Jedway is a landing and erstwhile settlement and mining camp on Harriet Harbour, part of Skincuttle Inlet, on the east coast of Moresby Island in Haida Gwaii, British Columbia, Canada. Jedway was once a hub for mines in the area during a mining boom on South Moresby, including mines at Ikeda and Lockeport, though a mine at the Jedway iron-magnetite deposit, known as the Jessie showings, did not open until 1961. In the earlier period, Jedway was the de facto capital of the archipelago, as it was the headquarters of the provincial Gold Commissioner, E. M. Sandilands, whose position carried with it all the functions of and powers of government. It lost this status when he relocated to Queen Charlotte City in 1910. A 1908 in The Ledge, a mining newspaper based in Greenwood, said "there is room for another hotel in Jedway". Jedway remained a local service centre after that, but the relocation of two Chinese men sentenced to months-long imprisonment to Jedway from Queen Charlotte City in 1912 suggests the presence of jail facilities there.
