Beacons of Hope
Over the past two years, press headlines largely covered the rather negative aspects related to Quebec's mining industry. Iron ore prices steadily descended towards the $40/mt mark, making the life at iron ore companies extremely difficult in Quebec, a jurisdiction with tremendous potential for this commodity, especially in its Labrador Trough region. Moreover, in July 2015, the Bureau d' Audiences Publiques sur l'Environnement (BAPE) issued a 626-page study. advising Quebec's authorities against uranium exploration and mining in the province, triggering the discontent of the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission (CNSC), and sending a negative message to the international investor community. Add these events to an already depressed global mining environment, all within a climate of scarce financing sources, and the results should not contribute to a beautiful picture for La Belle Provinces mining scene.
