Our collaboration with the City of Chapais is essential, and we are committed to maintaining this partnership. We aim for a harmonious approach that benefits both the Opémiska project and the local community.

Thus far, everything suggests that the project proposed by QC Copper & Gold will continue to respect municipal values such as harmony, nature protection, and citizens' well-being. This is our top priority," commented the Mayor of Chapais, Mr. Jacques Fortin.

Commitment to the Local Economy
The City of Chapais also welcomes QC Copper & Gold's commitment to the regional economy through its local procurement policy, a key element in strengthening Chapais's economy.
