Here is what is coming in Quebec.

The election is September 4th and the Parti Quebecois is in the lead. Their new mining policy is to pick up a 5% royalty on sales from all miners, plus a 30% windfall tax on profits after they exceed a certain threshold. That is against the current regime of 16% royalty on net profits.

This policy may not be a show stopper but it will still have a impact on the bottom line.
