James Bay: 125 Years of New Geoscientific Frontiers

Since the expeditions of Albert P. Low and the Geological Survey of Canada between 1884 and 1905, countless geologists and prospectors have roamed and explored the Eeyou Istchee James Bay territory. Despite the many phases of geoscience knowledge acquisition carried out over these 125 years of mineral exploration by the various players, new discoveries of critical and strategic minerals and metals in recent years demonstrate that this territory is still considered one of the “new” frontiers for mineral exploration. This conference session aims to prove, once more, that the Eeyou Istchee James Bay territory still holds in store many surprises, thanks to its highly diversified geological and metallogenic environments.
