"Today's announcement of additional investment in mining in northern Minnesota is great news for Iron Range communities. Our district is blessed with vast mineral wealth unmatched anywhere else in the world. The Duluth Complex contains 95% of America's nickel, 88% of our cobalt, and more than one-third of our copper, crucial to national security and alternative energy goals. And in Minnesota, we can mine these minerals safer and cleaner than anywhere else, under our strict environmental and labor standards. I will put our workforce up against any other in the world, as northeastern Minnesotans will develop the resources needed for America's national security, electric vehicles, and for use in our modern world. Ventures such as NewRange Copper Nickel help support our mining way of life up north and will help the United States achieve mineral dominance and independence." | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T02:49:02Z |
