  • Québec Mining 2019 Québec Mining 2019
    QUÉBEC MINING 2019 QUÉBEC MINING 2019 Institutional Support and Regulations - Investments - Battery Metals Innovation and Industry 4.0 - Gold - Iron - Services and Support Dear Reader, Global Business Reports is delighted to be back in Québec, a world-class mining jurisdiction with unique institutional support. The following pages investigate the latest developments across the value chain, from the organizations and institutions that provide the sector with financial and regulatory stability and transparency, to the junior explorers, large producers and service-sector companies operating on the ground. GBR’s research team travelled through Montréal, Québec City, Val-d’Or and Rouyn-Noranda for three months, conducting face-to-face interviews with key decision makers, to provide an up-to-date first-hand analysis from the figures who will shape the industry in the years ahead. Since the end of the super cycle in 2012, Québec’s mining industry has weathered a storm that has offered sparse opportunities for wealth creation and in recent years, new industries such as cryptocurrencies, blockchain and cannabis have compounded the challenge of sourcing investment from a finite pool. Yet there are plenty of reasons to be optimistic, as a diverse variety of new metals related to renewable energy, such as vanadium, lithium, cobalt and niobium, have caught the attention of a market looking towards a new, more sustainable energy future. Nemaska Lithium and BlackRock Metals have been able to raise billions of dollars to develop their projects in this field. Meanwhile, a Chinese steel market looking to curb pollution has stimulated demand for high-grade iron ore from the Labrador Trough.

  • Using Traditional Environmental Knowledge
    Sites of Potential Environmental Concern 189 USING TRADITIONAL ENVIRONMENTAL KNOWLEDGE AND A GEOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION SYSTEM TO IDENTIFY SITES OF POTENTIAL ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERN IN THE TRADITIONAL TERRITORY OF THE OUJE-BOUGOUMOU CREE Eric P. VV. anSpronsen, Leonard J.S. Tsuji, Harry Manson Department of Environment and Resource Studies University of Waterloo Waterloo, Ontario Canada, N2L 3G1 Joseph Shecapio-Blacksmith and Tommy Rabbitskin Cree Nation of Ouje-Bougoumou Ouje-Bougoumou, Quebec Canada, G0W 3C0 Abstract / Resume The Cree Nation of Oujé-Bougoumou had concerns about the impact of mining on the environment; thus, a traditional land use study was initi- ated to document potential sites of concern (SOC) in the Ouje- Bougoumou territory. SOC refers to any site that an individual and/or their family had observed and felt concerned about from an environ- mental health perspective. Seventy-two head-of-household participated; 42 identified at least one SOC in their interview. A total of 90 SOC were identified corresponding to 73 environmental concerns, and 66 unique SOC; some were identified by more than one person. La nation crie d’Oujé-Bougoumou est préoccupée des incidences de l’exploitation minière sur l’environnement. C’est pourquoi on a entrepris une étude de l’utilisation traditionnelle des terres afin de documenter les emplacements inquiétants potentiels sur le territoire de la nation crie. Un emplacement inquiétant fait référence à tout endroit observé par une personne ou sa famille qui se préoccupe de la salubrité de l’envi- ronnement de l’emplacement. L’étude a engagé la participation de 72 chefs de ménage, dont 42 ont indiqué au moins un emplacement inquiétant au cours d’une entrevue.

After that study, he agreed to carry out a community consultation to plan the NA study and has continued his active leadership throughout the years to ensure the successful completion of this report.

Under this agreement, work is governed by a new relationship based on cooperation and mutual respect between Hydro-Québec, its subsidiary Société d’énergie de la Baie James (SEBJ) and the Cree. In addition, the Cree play an active role in project design and in the implementation of mitigation and enhancement measures: Cree companies, workers and tallymen have worked on the project. The tallymen have also participated in all the technical and environmental studies throughout the draft-design and construction phases, as well as in the environmental follow-up activities, some of which should continue until 2021. <No intersecting link> Trapline location 6675_hq_495_nema_120508_en.EPS Giard Lac Rivière Lac du Boyd Vieux Comptoir Rivière Sarcelle control structure Opinaca Sarcelle powerhouse (under construction) Conn Wemindji Opinaca Rivière reservoir OA-05 dam Opinaca e OA-10A and Rivièr OA-10B dams Gipouloux n Eastmai e Rivièr Lac Rivière Lichteneger à l'Eau OA-11 dam Froide Eastmain-1 powerhouse Eastmain-1 dam Eastmain-1-A powerhouse Eastmain Eastmain 1 reservoir achiskw Jolicur W e Nemiscau-1 dam Rivièr R19 Enistuwach Matthew Wapachee Nemiscau-2 dam Baie-James Pontax Rivière R16 Rupert la Waskaganish Sam Cheezo R20 tailbay James Rivière Lemare Tommy-Neeposh de Wapachee transfer tunnel Nord dam R17 Nemaska Route Route Neil Wapachee
