Mining
Hours:
Office hours are Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
NewRange Copper Nickel LLC is a joint venture that places two separate mineral resources, NorthMet and Sunrise Projects and associated above-ground assets, under a single company. NewRange combines local values with global knowledge, bringing together decades of shared values, operating expertise, and a commitment to industry-leading sustainability and environmental practices from Teck Resources and Glencore.
NewRange will advance the responsible and sustainable development of copper, nickel, cobalt and platinum-palladium resources in the mineral-rich Duluth Complex of northeastern Minnesota, producing the raw materials critical to our energy security and creating a positive legacy for the next generation of mining.
The company will invest over $1 billion to responsibly develop NorthMet – aiding economic growth for future generations. NorthMet will partner with a skilled, local workforce and support 360 operations jobs and 700 construction jobs. In addition, it will generate an estimated $64 million in local, state and federal taxes annually.
Mining is the backbone of our region. Many of our families have been part of the local community for generations and care deeply for the region. We are committed to doing this right.
After an extensive environmental review and permitting process, we have obtained permits (subject to ongoing litigation) to construct and operate the mine, modernize and reactive processing facilities on our site that were formerly used in iron ore operations, and address legacy issues associated with those operations.
We will do this with a leadership and development team that has decades of experience developing and operating mines safely and responsibly.
We look forward to producing these essential metals, creating good jobs, fulfilling our promises, and extending the rich mining heritage of the state.
