Abandoned Mining Exploration sites

In the early 2000s, researchers at Laval University produced an exhaustive study aimed at drawing up an inventory of abandoned mining exploration sites in Nunavik, i.e. sites containing products that could represent a danger to the environment and human health, in order to lay the foundations for a priority clean-up operation. The inventory showed that there were some 595 abandoned sites at the time, 379 of which were known to the region's population. The research also revealed that two-thirds of all sites were located in the Labrador Trough. This research resulted in several documents. They can be consulted in the data section by selecting Mining Exploration Sites in the indicators drop-down menu.
