Congressman Stauber speaking at the ceremony. Stauber commended Twin Metal's commitment to using union labor, stating, "Today, mining and labor come together to define our future. This Project Labor Agreement for Twin Metals will allow Minnesota's future workforce to safely mine the copper, nickel, cobalt, and platinum group elements that power our modern world." Stauber followed, stating, "This project will create over one thousand jobs for our miners, but it will also invigorate critical industries like healthcare and tourism. Once this project moves forward, we will see more patrons in our restaurants, more students enrolled in schools, more customers investing in small businesses, and more families settling down in our communities." Stauber also commended the Trump Administration for making this move possible by reversing the harmful and politically motivated whims of the Obama Administration, stating, "The previous Administration's assault on mining, and our way of life, was a damaging setback for the hardworking Minnesotans who rely on these high-quality mining jobs." Stauber followed, stating, "I am thankful that President Trump and his Administration know that this project not only benefits our district and state, but our nation and the world." ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-06-27T23:35:44Z |
