We are pleased to hear the news (https://www.newrangecoppernickel.com/newrange-embarks-on-project-wide-studies-to-further-enhance-environmental-safeguards-and-project-performance/) that NewRange Copper Nickel is reiterating it’s commitment to its NorthMet critical minerals project on Minnesota’s Iron Range. This is a key development at a time when the US struggles to ethically source the minerals necessary for clean energy and economic security. Projects committed to high labor and environmental standards like NewRange must lead the way.
We applaud NewRange for studying ways to ensure its project remains at the forefront of environmental protection and efficiency. This is welcome news for all interested parties, especially for the local communities who have long been a bedrock of support for the project.
Members of Minnesota’s building and construction trades unions stand ready to build a world-class mine to produce the minerals vital to America’s future. We look forward to hearing more from NewRange in the coming months and are confident the company will advance a project our members will be proud to build.
