The gouvernement du Québec has released its Mineral Strategy setting objectives and defining the measures to take to prepare for the future of the Québec mineral sector. The strategy is built around three main policy directions:

• Create wealth and prepare the future of the mineral sector
• Ensure environment-friendly mineral development
• Foster integrated, community-related mineral development

This strategy will make it possible to rethink government action to ensure that the mining industry contributes more to the economic development of Québec and its regions. It notably aims to modernize the industry regulatory framework to enhance its competitiveness and its appeal to young workers.
