Item description from seller

Print on Demand. This fascinating exploration of the history of mining operations in the Canadian province of Quebec from 1900 to 1909 details the technological advances that improved efficiency, enhanced safety, and led to a surge in production of valuable commodities. The author examines iron ore mining and the challenges faced by the industry, before turning to the growth of 'ochre' mining, used for the production of paints and gas purification. The rise and fall in the demand for chrome is assessed, and the copper industry is explored, with a focus on the impact of fluctuating prices and competition. The author further delves into the development of asbestos mining, describing the consolidation of companies and the modernization of mining techniques. The discovery of gold and the search for other precious metals is examined, and an overview of the mining of non-metallic minerals, such as building materials, cement, graphite, and others is given. The author concludes by providing insights into the innovations and developments that shaped the mining industry in Quebec during this period, showcasing the immense value of these activities to the economy and technological advancement of the province. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.
