St-Georges’ Manicouagan project continues to return high-grade Ni-Cu-PGE results with Bi-bearing PGE minerals such as insizwaite (PtBi₂).

Beyond mining value, these minerals tie Québec’s geology to the global race for stable quantum materials.

Quebec’s Manicouagan region sits on a complex intrusive–impact environment where Pt-PGE bismuthides like insizwaite can form as micro-phases in Ni-Cu-PGE systems

These minerals are tiny, but in tech terms they are huge: PtBi₂-type compounds are being studied for ultrafast quantum logic components

Insizwaite PtBi₂ is a rare platinum–bismuth mineral known for exotic electronic properties

In lab form it shows strong topological behavior, making it a candidate material for next-gen quantum CPUs

Finding Bi-rich PGE systems suddenly becomes far more strategic

Used in GaN & GaAs semiconductors, 5G, radar, power systems

Export controls show materials can be weaponized (China supply 98%).

Securing american gallium supply is urgent/strategic

#gallium is plenty, processing initiatives rare

hole 21-18 (1.5m):

Pt 10.53 g/t, Pd 7.73, Au 1.97, Rh 0.24, Ru 0.25, Os 0.17 = 20.89 g/t

One of 🇨🇦’s richest PGE hits.

SNL should get @paulyshore.bsky.social on their next show to play Miller, we need that comic relief.
