Québec Mining 2022 - Digital Interactive

October 04, 2022

Québec routinely ranks among the top of the Fraser Institute’s Annual Survey of Mining Companies when it comes to investment attractiveness. Located within a politically stable country, the province boasts a diverse resource base, a uniquely favorable financial environment, access to skilled labor and green energy, and a strong history of mining. 

From brownfield projects in the Abitibi driven by troves of historic data to greenfield lithium exploration in uncharted territories, Québec is home to the next generation of mining. Here, digitalization and robotization are not simply buzzwords; as a collective force, the mining ecosystem is working to ensure that an industry so essential for the future is not powered by technologies of the past.

Drawing from over 90 interviews with leading industry executives, Global Business Reports presents its annual guide to Québec’s mining sector, featuring companies spanning the full value chain, from government-backed financial institutions to innovation-driven service providers and the host of producers and juniors that continue to propel the industry forward.

MACIG 2025 - Mining in Africa Country Investment Guide

It is said that mining is a patient industry. Current demand projections are not. Demand for minerals deemed ‘critical’ is set to increase almost fourfold by 2030, according to the UN. Demand for nickel, cobalt and lithium is predicted to double, triple and rise ten-fold, respectively, between 2022 and 2050. The world will need to mine more copper between 2018 and 2050 than it has mined throughout history. 2050 is also the deadline to curb emissions before reaching a point of ‘no return.’ The pace of mineral demand and the consequences of not meeting it force the industry to act fast and take more risks. Mining cannot afford to be a patient industry anymore. The scramble for supply drives miners back to geological credentials, and therefore to places like the African Central Copperbelt.
