Cobalt, Mining municipality in Timiskaming District, Canada

The town of Cobalt sits within Ontario's Timiskaming District, featuring remnants of silver mines and heritage buildings that document its industrial past.

During the early 1900s, Cobalt emerged as the world's fourth-largest silver producer following mineral discoveries during the construction of the Temiskaming Railway in 1903.

The Cobalt Mining Museum displays an extensive collection of local silver specimens while offering educational programs about the region's mining operations and traditions.

Visitors can join guided tours through former mining sites, access underground tunnels, and learn about mineral extraction processes at multiple preserved locations.

The Cobalt Municipal Water Act of 1917 establishes specific protection measures for the town's water sources, preventing development and maintaining strict quality standards.
