Each year, the QMEA highlights the dynamism and entrepreneurial qualities of members who contribute to the development of Québec's mineral sector. The Recognition Award Gala was the perfect opportunity to present several awards to those who have distinguished themselves. Thus, Eastmain Resources was awarded the Discovery of the Year award for its Eau Claire (clear water) project, Integra Gold was presented with the Entrepreneur of the Year award, Commerce Resources Corp. received the e3 Plus Award, and Forages Rouillier received the Service Company of the Year Award. For their part, Louis Gignac, Louis Paquet, MM Maurice and Claude Bronsard respectively received the Hector-Authier Award, the Mining Exploration Supporter and the Nicolas Denys medals. Georges Beaudoin received the Jean Descarreaux Award on behalf of one of the Association's founders, which highlights the work of an individual whose writings have helped increase mineral exploration geoscience knowledge.
