Ocean-Front Land Available to Support New Industrial Development in Quebec

SUGAR LAND--March 7, 2012--Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--The Quebec government unveiled its tremendous 25-year industrial development strategy for the northern part of its province last May. Plan Nord, as the plan is called, envisions up to $83 billion in public and private investments to develop and bring to market the province's vast deposits of iron ore, nickel, gold, silver, zinc and rare earths.

Industrial firms have eagerly responded to Plan Nord, particularly the Quebec government's offer to support infrastructure investments that will be needed to transport large volumes of minerals from their extraction points to terminals, ports and railway depots from which they can be transshipped to their ultimate markets in the Americas, Europe and Asia.
