BW: REGIONAL SENIOR VICE PRESIDENT, NORTH AMERICA, AND DG: GENERAL MANAGER, ÉLÉONORE MINE, NEWMONT
"We made improvements across our North America portfolio, achieving 28% higher gold production overall in the region – a success story that Newmont hopes to continue building on as we solidify our position in Canada with the acquisition of Newcrest."
"Northern Superior Resources has a unique and aggressive strategy of consolidation of the Chibougamau gold camp, where many gold projects are located close to one another."
"Québec's road network offers more access to mining sites than in Nunavut. However, employees would be discouraged if they had to commute to the mine by road. Québec's aviation industry is therefore vital, allowing mines to use fly-in and fly-out services to support their operations and attract new talent."
"Projects can range from planning the construction of a runway, organizing transportation logistics, selecting appropriate air carriers, or even just supporting on-site operations on a regular basis."
CHAIRMAN, AEMQ (QUÉBEC MINERAL EXPLORATION ASSOCIATION)
"Everybody wants electrification, and we need to convey that sustainable mining for critical minerals is the biggest part of this transition, and one of the best places in the world to do it is in Québec."
"What has prompted this aggressive growth strategy is the demand we see in the market for underground drilling services as increasingly more of our clients are going underground."
PRESIDENT AND CEO, QUEBEC MINING ASSOCIATION (QMA) / ASSOCIATION MINIERE DU QUEBEC (AMQ)
"Québec is in a great position to become a mining jurisdiction capable of producing the necessary minerals for decarbonization and helping the rest of the world decrease its GHG emissions."
VP RAGLAN MINE (PB) & COO COPPER NORTH AMERICA AND PHILIPPINES (CB), GLENCORE
"We are making significant investments in our copper assets in Québec, and we look forward to increasing our recycling capabilities there. The goal is simple: providing the metals to decarbonize the planet."
Mexico's chemical industry faces challenges in securing a reliable feedstock supply and maintaining global competitiveness. A shift towards sustainable energy and local production could provide long-term growth opportunities, and some sectors are booming, including Mexico's dynamic chemical distribution market.
