Knowledge and methods in mineral exploration in Quebec: New research results from CONSOREM

November 16 2026, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
(Offered only in French)

Workshop Organizer: Benoit Lafrance (CONSOREM)

This workshop presents the results of research projects carried out in 2025–2026 by Consortium de recherche en exploration minérale (CONSOREM) researchers. CONSOREM is a pre-competitive applied research partnership dedicated to producing cutting-edge knowledge and methods for mineral exploration in Quebec, as well as training and knowledge transfer. The results of 6 projects will be presented, covering a broad spectrum of mineral exploration themes:

1. Relationship between gold and lithium mineralization in the Eeyou Istchee Baie-James region;
2. Synthesis of major deformation corridors in the Eeyou Istchee Baie-James region;
3. Biogeochemistry and mineral exploration in a boreal context – Phase 4;
4. Metallogenic potential of the Grenvillian parautochthonous rocks;
5. Review and application of ambient-noise tomography for mineral exploration;
6. Potential of LiDAR surveys for mineral exploration – Phase 2.
