On exhibit are many massive boulders illustrating important mineral deposits found around the world.The school was born out of the need to meet the ever-increasing demand for technically trained miners for the legendary silver camp in Cobalt, in the early 1900s. The Haileybury School of Mines filled that need. Now, more than 100 years later, it’s still providing highly trained technicians who continue to be in demand by mining companies across Canada and worldwide.
The Haileybury School of Mines (HSM) has a long and respectable history dating back to 1912. Over 2,000 graduates have come through HSM and pursued careers in mining and mining-related fields throughout North America and worldwide.
