Quebec town leaders and residents create an alliance to accelerate public consultations and pressure the provincial government regarding a proposed graphite mine with ties to the Pentagon. Lomiko Metals Inc. received $11.4M from the U.S. Department of Defence for the project. The alliance plans to hold consultations over the next few months and potentially launch a referendum by 2026 to gather public opinion on the project's social acceptability.
