Strong public support for Horne 5 mine in Quebec

Falco Resources Ltd. has released results from an independent survey about the Horne 5 underground mine project. The survey was conducted by Léger and focused on public support in Rouyn-Noranda and Abitibi-Témiscamingue. The results show strong backing for the project. In Rouyn-Noranda, 72% of people support it, while support is even higher at 74% in Abitibi-Témiscamingue. Many respondents believe the project will create jobs and boost the local economy. Although there are some worries about environmental effects, 73% of respondents are confident that Falco will engage with the community to address these concerns. Hélène Cartier, the Vice-President of Environment, Sustainable Development and Community Relations, highlighted the survey’s confirmation of strong local support. She expressed the company’s commitment to responsible development. Luc Lessard, the President, mentioned ongoing efforts to gain government approval, noting it's surprising that recognition has not yet come after more than eight years. The project is expected to contribute about $3.8 billion to Quebec's economy and create many jobs. It emphasizes sustainable mining practices and aims to support the energy transition. Falco Resources holds extensive mining claims in Quebec, with the Horne 5 Project being a central asset due to its historical significance and resource potential.
