Stand with the Lake and the Mountains
“An inexperienced Canadian company wants to build their first-ever mine right next to the Porcupine Mountains, Lake Superior, and the North Country Trail. They would store 40+ million tons of toxic mine tailings in a waste basin visible from the State Park, which, if it ruptures, would flood the Lake with contamination. Michigan state representative Dave Prestin
says the infrastructure and power grid expansion required for the mine would serve as the foundation for Data Centers and other heavy industries after the mine closes. Copperwood is not just a dangerous mining project — it's the beginning of a broader transformation to turn our most pristine land and water into an industrial corridor.”
