A detailed snapshot of Quebec’s mining scene in 1918 and its wartime context.

This report presents production values, mineral breakdowns, and the industry’s response to global conflict. It combines statistical reviews with practical notes on labor, materials, and regional geology to show how the province’s mines and quarries shaped economic activity during a pivotal year.

The volume compiles production data, price estimates, and the division of minerals into building materials, non-metallics, and metals. It discusses how war demand boosted output for strategic minerals like pyrites, chromite, asbestos, molybdenite, and magnesite, and it considers the coming shift after peace. Readers will find historical figures, year-by-year comparisons, and notes on labor and policy that reflect the era’s industrial challenges.

A clear view of Quebec’s mineral exports and the value of mining output in 1918
Breakdowns by substance, including metals, non-metallics, and building materials
Context on wartime demand, labor issues, and the economic outlook after armistice
Geology and regional details that shaped mining activity and exploration

Ideal for readers of industrial history, economic history, and professionals seeking a precise portrait of early 20th-century mining in Quebec.
