Description From Owner:

Pop. 156 In Marmora T., Hastings C. on the Moira R. and C. Rd. II, 1 km N of Hwy 7, 58 km. NE of Peterborough.
. 'De l'oro' is Spanish for 'of gold.' After gold was discovered at nearby Eldorado in 1866, shafts were sunk throughout the district, at least 20 on the site of the present community.
In the late 1890s, Canadian GoldfIelds Ltd. and Atlas Gold and Arsenic Mining Co., bought properties at Deloro and began mining gold and arsenic, continuing until 1904.
When silver was discovered at Cobalt in 1903, the Deloro Mining and Reduction Company built a silver refinery at Deloro.
The first cobalt metal produced commercially in the world came from here. In 1961 the company closed its operations, demolished the plant, sold its houses and buried the arsenic refuse.
