Rewarding Career.. The mines of Ontario are representative of the application of hard work and knowledge of geology, engineering, metallurgy and allied sciences. Over the years the methods employed in locating mineral deposits, the extraction of the ore from the ground, and the refining of the ore, have been constantly improving and research into these sciences is never at a standstill.
