Dumont Nickel Project (the “Project”), today announced the results of an independent socio-economic study conducted by Aviseo Conseil (“Aviseo”), a strategy and economic consulting firm based in Montréal. In addition to the Project’s expected contribution to the Province of Québec, estimated at over $530 million annually, the Aviseo study confirms that the Project is expected to generate $1.1 billion in annual real GDP for Canada, driven by upstream and downstream economic activity.

Located in Québec, the fully permitted Dumont Nickel Project is one of the world’s largest undeveloped nickel deposits and is poised to increase Canadian nickel output by approximately 15%. This new supply will support battery and advanced materials supply chains, the energy transition, and critical national-security industries—including defense and aerospace. By bringing long-life nickel production to market, the Project is positioned to strengthen market stability and enhance supply-chain security across Western nations.
