A history written
in Quartz
Late Raymond A. Marleau M.SC., D.Sc., Geologist, was specialized in mineral economics, and was one of the leading global geological researcher for light metals (Si, Mg, Al) and for applied scientific research and development (R&D). The surface quartz (Si - smart mineral) deposit of Baie-Johan-Beetz is entered into the fold of PAL in 1977. He had assessed back then the possibilities of exploitation of this deposit. Then he began in the 1980s interacting with different buyers and producers of quartz ore and Si Metal worldwide (Spain, Sweden, Norway, Iceland, China) throughout his career.
As a true visionary, he has chosen to preserve the deposit for future high-teck applications. In addition, accessibility to the deposit was possible only by sea while today, a provincial highway is in place since 1996 at only 800 m from the deposit.
Today the relevance of having postponing the project proves the right decision in regards of the markets, needs and price, as well as new manufacturing processes.
