We the undersigned, believe that all types of mining in the existing mining area known as Northeastern Minnesota's Iron Range, can be done in a safe and environmentally friendly manner which can be proven in its already 160 year mining history. During this 160 year history, challenges to safety and the environment have been met with steady resolve by mining industry operators, their employees, and local regulations already in place.
We see no reason why precious metal, copper/nickle mining and similar value enhanced mining projects cannot accomplish the same results with current advanced separation technologies and proprietary methodologies.
Initiated by:
Jim Tuomala
NorthEastern Minnesota- Resident/Taxpayer
The feedback I have received from residents confirms that our long history of responsible resource extraction remains a point of pride. I am currently compiling your collective input to prepare a formal presentation for local stakeholders. Your resolve ensures that our perspective on the future of this industry is clearly understood.
March 13, 2012
The level of support for this initiative has grown significantly and indicates a clear consensus regarding our region's industrial future. This momentum confirms that a great many people recognize the capability of our local mining operations to continue their legacy of responsible development.

My grandpa worked the pits for 30 years and we turned out just fine. Mining is the lifeblood of this range. Leave us alone.
