Overview

Fasken Martineau's Aboriginal LawGlobal Mining, Government Relations and Ethics, and Securities and Mergers & Acquisitions groups invites you to attend a presentation on Plan Nord, one of the largest economic, social and environmental initiatives that has ever been undertaken in Québec.

The Plan Nord is an area of great mining potential. Opportunities in acquisitions, investments, infrastructure development and project financing will attract key players in the mining industry to the north of Québec.
