Minerai de Fer Québec, Stripping Patte Pignac

Fermont, Québec

Stripping 2 areas, including the Patte Pignac zone at MFQ, is a crucial step in preparing for mining. This operation involves removing the surface layer of soil and vegetation to gain access to buried mineral resources. This procedure involves the use of heavy equipment such as excavators and bulldozers to efficiently remove the soil and rock above the mineral deposit.

This process is essential to create a safe and accessible environment for subsequent mining operations. Stripping also prepares the necessary infrastructure, such as roads and storage areas, to facilitate the transport of extracted materials.

However, stripping must be carried out in compliance with strict environmental protection standards to minimize the ecological impact, including measures to rehabilitate the land after mining operations have ceased. Thus, stripping the Patte Pignac zone in Fermont is being carried out within a framework of sustainable development, ensuring responsible mining that respects the environment.
