Resolute is well established in the Abitibi-Témiscamingue region thanks to its wood harvesting and processing activities. In 2021, Resolute announced an investment of $36 million to modernize equipment at the Senneterre sawmill in Quebec, which will improve the overall efficiency and productivity of its facilities in the region. The investment includes the purchase of a new planer and automated sorting bins. In the spring of 2022, Resolute also announced the purchase of a 34.5-megawatt thermal power plant adjacent to its Senneterre sawmill. With this plant, Resolute will maximize the use of biomass from its regional facilities to generate green energy and create a platform for growth and increased competitiveness in the Abitibi-Témiscamingue region. The Comtois and Senneterre sawmills, respectively, employ 79 and 166 people, and have an annual production capacity of 134 and 172 million board feet of lumber. The Amos paper mill, built in 1982, is located two kilometres from the Harricana River in Abitibi-Témiscamingue, one of the longest waterways in Canada. It was the first mill in the world to produce newsprint exclusively from thermomechanical pulp. Hit hard by the COVID-19 crisis and the decline in demand for paper in the markets it serves, the mill had to suspend its operations for an indefinite period on April 23, 2020.
