Gold still shines bright in Quebec but critical metals are a rising star
(Kitco News) - Gold and silver have been the bread and butter of Quebec's mining sector, but growing demand for critical metals is creating new opportunities in the province's northwestern Abitibi region, according to Maxime Guilbault, a partner at PWC. Talking with Kitco News at the Xplor mining conference in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, Guildault said that more investment capital has to flow into critical metals in Quebec for the sector to see sustainable growth.
However, he added that the growing demand for lithium means it's only a matter of time before the province a critical metals mine.
"[Quebec] is in a good position to catch the wave and be in the forefront of the energy transition," he said.
