Industrial Minerals Of Northern Ontario

Mining and mineral development in Ontario is older than the province itself. It was among the first industries to take hold and attract people, first creating mining camps and then small towns and communities which later grew into major centres such as Timmins, Kirkland Lake, Sudbury and Cobalt. This document looks at the industry in general and discusses specific minerals and their importance.

This book provides a detailed overview of the mining industry in northern Ontario, Canada. With a focus on the history, geology, and technology of mining, it offers a fascinating glimpse into this vital industry and the communities that rely on it.
