Québec and Atlantic Canada have traversed 2025 in an enviable position. Strong gold prices have buoyed balance sheets and investor sentiment, while global demand for critical minerals keeps the region firmly on the radar of international markets. At the same time, the provinces’ depth of mining expertise – from AI-driven exploration to advanced drilling, blasting, and geophysics – ensures that technological advantage is firmly on their side.
2025’s Canadian federal election added further momentum. With critical minerals elevated as a pillar of industrial policy, mining has re-entered the spotlight as a strategic driver of national competitiveness. Québec and Atlantic Canada, with their established infrastructure and rich resource base, stand to benefit from this heightened political and international focus on supply chain resilience.
GBR’s latest research takes readers inside this evolving landscape, capturing the perspectives of executives, engineers, policymakers, and service providers who are steering the industry forward. Key themes include circularity and sustainability, the deployment of new technologies across exploration and operations, the strategic role of logistics in remote environments, and the opportunities opened up by supportive policy and strong commodity markets.
The report highlights a sector that is not only weathering global uncertainty but seizing the chance to lead with innovation, expertise, and strategic resources.

“I had the pleasure of receiving two of your printed versions and I must say, for an old guy, I really enjoyed receiving the print version; somehow, it is far nicer to touch a real version instead of an electronic one.

It has spurred me to consider the next article that may be valuable to the wider audience. Many thanks” – Ross Waters, Chairman, CGIS
