Polymet Mining Corp.

http://www.polymetmining.com

PolyMet Mining’s project is a proposed open pit mining development that would extract copper, nickel, cobalt, palladium, platinum, and gold. PolyMet’s NorthMet ore body is located in the center of a known polymetallic deposit on the northwestern portion of the Duluth Complex, an arc-shaped intrusion in northeastern Minnesota. Non-ferrous minerals in the area in the 1940s were first discovered near Ely. The NorthMet deposit was discovered and explored in the 1960s by U.S. Steel. The polymetallics deposits of the Duluth Complex are generally believed to hold the third largest nickel deposit in the world.

Once operational, PolyMet Mining would mine 32,000 tons of material per day. Copper would be processed into high grade copper cathode onsite. Other metals would be processed, concentrated, and shipped off site for final processing. The NorthMet mine is about a mile south of the existing Northshore Mining Co. Peter Mitchell iron ore mine. PolyMet will re-use key portions of the former LTV Steel Mining Co. taconite plant near Hoyt Lakes for crushing and processing.

Development would create hundreds of new permanent jobs, construction jobs and stimulate positive economic spin-off.

Capital cost:$601.9 million
Estimated permanent employment:400
Construction workers: 250 per year for two years
