Translation :
The Legault government will unveil a new strategy this morning in Sept-Îles aimed at enhancing the value of critical and strategic minerals.
Boosting Quebec’s mining sector is the goal of Minister Jean-François Simard, who will present the 10-year strategy at Pointe-Noire, according to information obtained by TVA Nouvelles.
With a budget of more than $88 million, the plan aims to accelerate the launch of mining projects, while especially promoting second- and third-stage processing within Quebec.
There are 28 critical and strategic minerals in Quebec’s subsoil that attract strong interest from Europeans, Chinese, and Americans alike.
The United States will remain the main partner, but the minister emphasized in an interview with TVA Nouvelles that U.S. pressure on Greenland places Quebec in a strong position to speed up the development of mining projects, while respecting environmental regulations.
