INVESTMENT TEAM DIRECTOR, CHURCH OF ENGLAND PENSIONS BOARD, & CO-CHAIR OF THE INVESTOR MINING & TAILINGS SAFETY INITIATIVE
"The collective realization that waste has been managed as an externality was alarming, and despite the good practice that existed within some companies, this was a sector-wide systemic challenge that needs serious focus from investors."
CEO, CENTRE OF EXCELLENCE FOR MINING INNOVATION (CEMI)
"If we consider waste management in our own households, 30 years ago everything went to landfill, but in time we have learned to re-use and recycle. The same can be said for many industrial business sectors, but the mining industry has not adopted this kind of waste diversion."
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.
