Martin van Gemert
REGIONAL VP (AFRICA), MINCON
"Miners and contractors need to look at the full picture, putting into balance quality, governance, sustainability, and a lower total drilling cost against cheaper but uncompliant tools."
Melissa Sanderson
NON-EXECUTIVE BOARD MEMBER AND SPOKESPERSON, AMERICAN RARE EARTHS
"In March 2023, we published a JORC report of 1.43 billion t of rare earths, enabling us to produce approximately 4 million t of crucial materials, namely neodymium and praseodymium. The JORC report accounts for just 25% of the entire Halleck Creek concessions."
Guy Belleau
CEO, SAYONA MINING
"With provincial and federal support for critical minerals, Québec is the place to be in the lithium space, and Sayona has the potential to be a leader in North America with over 30% of total hard rock lithium resources on the continent."
Pascal Hamelin
CEO AND DIRECTOR, ABCOURT MINES
"There is a lot of talent here, people are proud miners, mining is perceived well, and people understand the wealth it generates."

Rosario Urrutia
COUNTRY MANAGER, STANTEC
