Québec Mining 2019 E&MJ Release

May 13, 2019

GBR is back in ‘La Belle Province’ to provide a first-hand account of the current mining landscape in a world-class jurisdiction with unique institutional support. Québec hosts a diverse portfolio of minerals and metals that play a key role in the move towards green energy and the booming battery electric vehicles market, in addition to significant precious metals reserves and high grade iron ore from the Labrador Trough. As Eldorado Gold and Osisko Mining ramp up development at Québec’s next gold mines, a host of juniors look for the next discovery of significance, spurred on by the federal government’s decision to renew the mineral exploration tax credit (METC) until 2024. Parallel to this, a burgeoning Montréal tech community is working in collaboration with its international counterparts to develop solutions that are transforming processing technology, allowing companies to identify new deposits, and enhancing mine safety in jurisdictions across the globe.

Peru Mining 2024

After five months in Lima and more than 130 interviews, the conversations with C-executives along the Peruvian mining value chain touched on various topics. These included production targets, drilling results, the benefits of new technologies like the so-called “digital twins” to replicate reality in a virtual environment, and even the use of cartridge valves. However, a recurring theme in almost every interview, and perhaps the most significant one in relevance, is Peru's loss of its position as the second-largest copper producer to the Democratic Republic of Congo.
