Geoscience Work

The Direction de l’acquisition des connaissances géoscientifiques (DACG) is responsible for acquiring and processing geoscience knowledge across the province. These projects are made possible by the mining heritage component of the Natural Resources Fund, which is financed by mining taxes.

For further information on previous geoscientific surveys, please consult the MERN reports on the Bulletin Géologique   webpage.

The DACG’s program has been available online since February 2017, on the SIGÉOM database interactive map (see ongoing projects ).
