The Land
Quebec has been in the top 10 in the annual Fraser Institue mining survey since 2001, and in first place in 2007/2008, and 2009/2010. Quebec is renowned for the production of precious metals, common metals, and industrial minerals and ranks among the main mineral producers in the world and is among the top ten most explored areas in the world. Despite this, over two-thirds of the land remains partially explored or completely virgin.
In Quebec, over 90% of the subsoil is made up of precambian rocks, a strong geological setting known for gold, iron, copper, zinc and nickel deposits.
Pro-mining Quebec
Quebec, noted for exceptional mining potential, also offers political stability, pro-industry mining laws and one of the best geo-scientific databases in the world. A multitude of financial incentives aimed at mining exploration and development implemented by the government of Quebec help to reduce the risks related to exploration.
