Quebec unveils billionaire plan to develop mining and renewable energy
The Canadian province of Quebec launched on Monday a 25-year plan to develop its huge frozen northern region, turning the area into a major source of mining resources and renewable energy. The “Plan Nord” will invest US$ 83 billion on infrastructure, mines and the development of alternative, renewable energy. According to the Quebec government, the region has huge deposits of nickel, cobalt, platinum group metals, zinc, iron ore, ilmenite, gold, lithium, vanadium and rare-earth metals.
So far, the northern portion of Quebec has 11 mining projects in development over its 1.2 million square kilometers. Some 50% percent of the territory were kept aside of industrial purposes, including new provincial parks and environmentally protected areas.
