"The global efforts towards diversified and resilient supply chains create opportunities for African countries to capture more economic activity on the continent and create good-paying jobs."
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."
“Estamos presenciando una migración significativa hacia el renting, impulsada en parte por la creciente competitividad. Los clientes optan por no adquirir activos y prefieren contratos de arrendamiento, con la posibilidad de cambiar de activo durante cierto tiempo.”
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."
"We are now well on our way down that path with active exploration ongoing at both our projects, and we can expect to announce drill results from both Santa Cecilia and Margarita starting in the last half of 2023."
COUNTRY DIVISION MANAGER – PROCESS INDUSTRIES, AND MINING LEAD ABB
"Tools such as satellite communication technologies, fiber optics, and 5G have helped to implement remote work on a massive scale. The main mining clients, including Teck, are already operating remotely."
