"Exploration has become more complicated in Québec, but it is the same all over the world. We need to adapt to regulations and be in-synch with society and our social responsibility."
"Having established a beachhead presence in Québec and in Canada in general, Gold Fields will be remiss not to remain open to opportunistic value accretive opportunities that may arise."
"Because we’ve invested in the development of our niche expertise in certain areas, we are well-positioned to collaborate with other firms to handle significant portions of major projects."
"Our investment in fleet expansion and new bases underscores our commitment to supporting the mining industry's evolving needs and maintaining our competitive edge in the market."
"In terms of commodities, G Mining is seeing the most activity in the gold, copper, and lithium areas. Gold will always do well, especially given the large increases in the money supply over the past two to three years."
PRESIDENT AND CEO, CENTRE FOR EXCELLENCE IN MINING INNOVATION (CEMI)
"The evolving role of mining, from a previously overlooked sector to now being considered a critical industry globally, underscores the need for strategic innovation and sustainable mining practices."
"NORCAT is the only innovation centre in the world that has an operating mine designed to enable start-ups, SMEs, and international companies to develop, test and demonstrate emerging technologies."
"There are some fantastic technologies and advancements that can help companies change and improve their operations and make them safer and more sustainable."
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.
