Book discussing the history of the Mond Nickel Company in Sudbury, Ontario.Context
The Mond Nickel company was originally based in the United Kingdom, and was founded in 1900. It was later in that year licensed to begin business in Ontario. The mining firm was led by Ludwig Mond, and their role was to process the ores from the Sudbury area to be sent to the Mond company in England for processing.
Initially, the first mine was located in the Dension Township in 1899, and in 1900 it was re-named to the Victoria Mine. A second mine was purchased, the Garson Mine which later resulted in the creation of the township of Garson.
By 1911 Mond started construction on a new smelter in Coniston and also obtained mining rights at the Frood Mine's expansion. However, by 1928 the International Nickel Company of Canada (INCO) started their developments in the Frood Mine, it was discovered that their plans would coincide with Mond's purchase of the expansion. In 1929 Mond merged into INCO.
