"During the spring we received visits from mining companies from Australia, Chile, and the USA, who are very interested in our autonomous drilling machines."
"I applaud the Ministry for putting out a strategic vision for mine development in Québec as this provides a pragmatic roadmap for the industry to get behind."
"Our goal for the next few months is to begin small-scale production while we continue to drill and advance the engineering towards a pre-feasibility study."
"We anticipate significant growth in the airport planning sector, driven by the need for infrastructure to meet the transportation demands of mining companies."
MINISTER OF NATURAL RESOURCES AND FORESTS, GOVERNMENT OF QUÉBEC
"On top of the most diverse resource base in Canada, Québec offers visionary and coherent government policies, while partnering in investments to create a favorable business environment for mining."
2025 was a year of change for Ontario’s mining industry. Canada’s evolving international relationships heightened the focus on economic sovereignty, while federal and provincial elections brought critical minerals to the forefront of policy discussions. The provincial government’s ‘One Project, One Process’ framework aims to reduce permitting delays, as critical mineral prices show early signs of recovery from a prolonged weak cycle.
