A WORD FROM THE MINISTERWelcome to Québec Mines 2016!

Once again this year, we are pleased and proud to welcome participants and exhibitors from different spheres of the mining sector.

As the varied and extensive Congress program shows, innovation can take many different forms. With its close ties to knowledge development, it forms the base on which a modern economy can be built, and is an invitation for us to act now in order to shape our world of tomorrow.

I hope you are able to take full advantage of the many opportunities on offer at Québec Mines, which will allow you to explore new avenues and enrich your business potential and knowledge. The Symposium on Energy Innovation Minerals offers a series of conferences on potential new sectors that may be supported by these substances of the future. The broad range of conferences, workshops and activities will certainly satisfy not only mine development specialists, but also the general public and younger visitors, through Québec Mines Discovery.

Enjoy the Congress!

Pierre ArcandMinister of Energy and Natural Resources, Minister Responsible for the Plan Nord and Minister responsible for the Côte-Nord region

INNOVATION IN MIND! If mining development is to become a project of the future for Québec, we must continue to capture scientific, technical environmental and social knowledge. However, innovation remains the key to a dynamic and prosperous mining sector

Innovation is what we need for Québec to become a leader of the pack!
