The Albany Gazette - CoTec Forms Subsidiary, CoTec Québec, To Accelerate Investment Activities In The Province

Julian Treger, CEO of CoTec commented: "The establishment of CoTec Québec demonstrates our commitment to advancing the Lac Jeannine Project and pursuing other investment opportunities in the province of Québec. CoTec will implement a comprehensive engagement plan with strategic partners in the province, including the Government of Québec, local stakeholders, First Nations and other interested parties.

CoTec's strategy is to recover the significant economic potential of large historical tailings sites with further potential for enhancement through the deployment of CoTec technologies. Québec hosts some of the largest historical resources of high-purity iron globally, creating an exceptional opportunity for Québec to become a global sustainable leader in the green steel supply chain. CoTec Québec will lead the ongoing development of the Lac Jeannine project, which is progressing through its Feasibility Study¹ and continue to examine further development opportunities in the province that can achieve accelerated project timelines to support the critical minerals supply chain."
