Qu\u00e9bec City, October 20, 2020<\/strong> \u2013 The Nord-du-Qu\u00e9bec region has seen spending by mining companies increase from $182 million in 2014 to $1.2 billion in 2018, resulting from major growth in mining activities. This is one of the findings from a study published by the Qu\u00e9bec Mining Association (QMA) that provides an overview of the impact of mining on Qu\u00e9bec\u2019s economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to spending, for which the region ranks fourth in Qu\u00e9bec, the study shows that the Nord-du-Qu\u00e9bec region employs the second largest number of mine workers, with a total of more than 3,900 direct jobs in mining operations. The Abitibi-T\u00e9miscamingue ranks first, with almost 4,165 direct jobs in mining operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overall, the study shows that the mining industry in Qu\u00e9bec is responsible for more than 48,000 direct, indirect and induced jobs, that almost $10 billion is spent by mining companies throughout Qu\u00e9bec, and that a network of more than 3,800 suppliers helps support the development of Qu\u00e9bec\u2019s mineral resources. It is also important to mention that the average annual salary in the industry is close to $104,000, well above the average annual salary in Qu\u00e9bec of $64,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The study also addresses a frequently-asked question: how much do governments receive from mineral resource development? The answer: over $1 billion each year. More specifically, $1.3 billion was paid to the Qu\u00e9bec government alone in 2018, without including corporate income tax, while the Government of Canada received a further $500 million.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although the data relates to activities in 2018, it is the most recent available and provides a representative view of the contribution made by the mining industry to Qu\u00e9bec\u2019s socio-economic development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00ab It is always striking to see the contribution made by the mining industry to Qu\u00e9bec\u2019s economy, and this holds true also for the Nord-du-Qu\u00e9bec region. The upward trend in the region since 2014 is impressive, especially in terms of spending by mining companies. The way in which the region\u2019s mining sector has been able to innovate and grow over the years offers hope for the future. Strong gold prices are another encouraging sign that point to ongoing economic benefits in the coming years, alongside the presence of essential minerals for transportation electrification and the energy transition such as nickel and lithium.\u00bb<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00ab Thanks to the resilience of the workers in Qu\u00e9bec\u2019s mining industry and their ability to innovate, mining companies have returned to the levels of activity seen before the COVID-19 pandemic relatively quickly. However, it will be interesting to see, in the next study of economic benefits covering the results for 2020, whether the pandemic has had an impact on employment and expenditure in the Nord-du-Qu\u00e9bec region. However, it is in a strong position to recover from the current situation and to continue to enjoy the benefits generated by the mining industry. \u00bb<\/p>\n– Jos\u00e9e M\u00e9thot, President and CEO of the Qu\u00e9bec Mining Association<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
