Mining
Modern, efficient infrastructure


Québec’s bustling urban centres and position next-door to the U.S., at the hub of a highly developed transportation network, make it an ideal location for business. In addition, its infrastructure is modern and efficient.

 

Ports

Québec offers ready access to Asia and Europe via its numerous deepwater ports, located in Trois-Rivières, Bécancour, Sorel-Tracy,
Baie-Comeau, Port-Cartier, Sept-Îles and Valleyfield. Plans for two new deepwater ports are currently under study.

 

Rail

In addition to covering much of Québec, the rail network connects the Labrador Trough to the deepwater port in Sept-Îles. An increase in rail system capacity is planned to support new mining projects.

 

Highways
Québec boasts an efficient road network that ensures direct access to the North American market. Expanding road access to the Far North is a priority for the Québec government.

 

Electrical infrastructure
Québec is the world’s fourth-largest producer of hydroelectricity. This renewable energy is supplied at competitive rates by a reliable distribution system that covers a large portion of the province. An increase in generating capacity is already planned to meet the demand from new mining projects.

Québec has numerous deepwater ports, including one in Sept-Îles, North America’s foremost ore port, with a rail link to the Labrador Trough.

Opening up the Far North

As part of the Plan Nord project, the government plans to invest, on a priority basis,in developing an integrated transportation system and has made it a priority. This will open up the Far North and benefit energy and mining projects, which have the greatest economic development potential.
