Adams Island is an undeveloped island in the West Isles Parish of Charlotte County, New Brunswick, Canada, where the Bay of Fundy enters Passamaquoddy Bay.
It is mineral-rich with copper ores, with bornite and copper glance.[2][3][4][5] In 1952, both Adam's Island and nearby Simpson Island were purchased by the Anthonian Mining Corporation, with drilling starting immediately on Adam's.[6] Both had mining efforts in the 1860s as well.[7] There was a copper mine operated by the British company "The Casco Bay Mining Company".[8]
John Adams, the Connecticut loyalist who moved from New York to Deer Island, New Brunswick around 1804 on land between Thomas Farrell and D. Butler, is believed to have died on Adams Island.
The north end of the island was titled Chatty's Point, and it was owned by David and John Mowat who also owned Mowat's Island.[1]
