Summary

PAL Quartz is advancing a major high-purity quartz project in Quebec with the potential to support semiconductor, microchip, and solar-panel supply chains at a time when North America is looking to strengthen domestic critical minerals production. In this episode, Benoit Marleau explains the scale of the deposit, early test results, and why this Canadian HPQ project could become an important alternative source for the global electronics and clean-energy industries.
