Present in Quebec’s mining ecosystem for over 150 years, copper is currently extracted only as a by-product in three operating mines. However, the favourable market context is driving a revival of exploration across the province, paving the way for an optimistic future for this strategic metal. This session will provide an overview of promising exploration projects from across Quebec, as well as an insight into the innovative exploration approaches and technologies being put forward by the industry.
