MiningMinnesota is committed to sustainable and environmentally responsible mining of copper, nickel, manganese, and precious metals in our incredible state.
Today’s U.S. Senate Vote to pass H.J. Res. 140 is an important step for Minnesota workers, Iron Range communities, and our domestic mineral supply chain.
The agate beautifully captures our region’s geological history - volcanoes, iron, water. It deserves its place on our license plates! Disclosure: my mom lives in Moose Lake, the “Agate Capital of the World” and home to Agate Days so I’m a bit biased ;)
Dear Minnesota,
I’m working to create a new license plate that celebrates the North Shore & our state gemstone, Lake Superior Agate, and could really use your help.
My State Rep. David Gottfried introduced a bill (HF3699) being heard in #mnleg committee next Tuesday, March 10th.
I’ve set up a website https://t.co/7tLNtYlUUm to share details, but if this idea resonates with you, please consider emailing your representative to share your support by March 9th and RT this post.
Thank you!! #MinnesotaRocks #AgatePlate

More great news from the Vault Zone!
Our latest step-out drilling continues to confirm high-grade nickel-copper mineralization, with the system remaining open in all directions, and our three drill rigs are actively working to expand this discovery!

On #InternationalWomenDay, we celebrate the women who help power the Iron Range. From mining and manufacturing to schools, clinics, job sites, public offices and community organizations, women lead throughout our region.
Dear MN employers, if you want future employees who are leaders, team players, and all-around cool humans, look to the robotics teams. Incredible weekend in Duluth supporting the Regionals competition as a judge. #inspired#humbled
Have questions about the upcoming vote in the Senate regarding the federal mineral withdrawal within the Superior National Forest? Get answers here - https://t.co/aVnyS0mblS (or ask us directly!).
@FOX9 Please reach out to us if you have questions in the future about this issue! Protections would still exist for the BWCA if the mineral withdrawal is overturned. https://t.co/PSuSfeLrFY
@NorthernNewsNow Any proposed project would still need to go through both state and federal environmental reviews and permitting with extensive opportunity for public comments. BWCA waters have an add’l layer of protection that few waters in MN do. https://t.co/hfCwJTSPOS
This issue isn’t about one mine (though that company has already invested hundreds of millions of dollars into our economy and acted with integrity). This is a broader conversation about resources, environmental reviews, and following processes.
“Minnesota is the place where upwards of 80 percent of the iron ore taconite is produced in this country,” said Senator Tina Smith. “We appreciate that mining is crucial to our economy and our national security and our way of life, but that is not what this mine is about."
In case you missed it: We recently released new assay and step-out drilling results from the Vault Zone!

As northern Minnesotans, we know how precious our wilderness and waters are here. We also know that our geology and modern society demand a real conversation about our minerals beyond our screens. https://t.co/eOBl09ViWh
“That’s propaganda.”
No. This is science.
Science you can measure.
Science you can model.
Science that regulators review, question, and require changes to.
This isn’t spin. It’s data. It’s design. It’s law.
