By engaging the public in this interactive event, the initiative fosters a deeper understanding of the sector's contributions to national and regional economies. It also highlights the ongoing potential for mineral exploration and development in areas like the Abitibi Greenstone Belt, which continues to be a vital source of economic activity and employment.
