BREAKING: Victory for Lake Superior! MN DNR suspends PolyMet copper-sulfide mine permit review until August 2025 -finally acknowledging that this dangerous project is fundamentally flawed (after spending millions of taxpayer dollars defending its shoddy permits). Time to move on from this project!

The Trump administration has named the NorthMet mine, a proposed massive open pit copper-nickel mine in northern Minnesota, on a list of federally important mineral projects intended to speed up permitting.
Trump names NorthMet copper-nickel mine in Minnesota a federal priority
The project in Babbit, originally proposed by the company PolyMet, still needs to re-apply for a key federal permit.

I hate those "new range" scholarship ads they are running during the MN State hockey tournament. That's just public relations for two mining companies (Swiss owned polymet and Canadian owned Teck) who want the right to pollute our state's water with copper-nickel runoff

It's weird how @governorwalz.mn.gov never mentions PolyMet. Everything that applies to TM also applies to PolyMet - and more. It's just that they are in different watersheds. He's willing to sacrifice one but not the other?

“PolyMet owes Minnesotans transparency and honesty," @jthaines.bsky.social said. "Either PolyMet can confirm that their plan is to continue to push a dangerous and illegal mine plan, or they can go back to the drawing board.”
