In the North of Québec, some 300 miles from Montreal, there is an area of extensive mining – deposits of copper, zinc, gold and cobalt wee being mined in the mid-20th century. In the first half of the 21st century, Northern Quebec’s mining sector is a significant part of the province’s economy, focusing on gold, nickel, lithium, graphite, iron, and copper, focusing on gold, nickel, lithium, graphite, iron, and copper, with major operations like Glencore’s Raglan (nickel) and Agnico Eagle‘s Canadian Malartic (gold) leading the way, alongside emerging lithium projects in the James Bay region, leveraging Quebec’s hydropower for cleaner operations and creating jobs in remote areas like Nunavik, despite logistical and environmental challenges.
