The current demand for cobalt, the mining of which has a troubled past and present, has renewed interest in the small town of Cobalt, Ontario. The author looks at the history of the town and how the mining rush there impacted Indigenous lands, the treatment of workers, and the natural environment--and how the template for resource extraction that was established during that time led to Canada becoming the world's dominant mining superpower.
