  5. This is a lousy place for a copper sulfide mine - historically close to the largest body of fresh water in the world, & next to one of the biggest old-growth forests in the country. Please sign the petition at change.org/p/protect-the-porki & read more at protecttheporkies.com/

  6. Copperwood’s ore grade is only 1.5%, meaning that nearly 99% of mined material will be heavy-metal laden waste rock stored on-site. Toxins of concern include mercury, arsenic, selenium, and lead. The dam would be tilted toward Lake Superior, which represents 10% of the world’s surface freshwater.

  7. The #CopperwoodMine would be about a half mile to the left from this spot on the suspension bridge near the mouth of the Presque Isle River, & would be the closest Copper Sulfide mine to #LakeSuperior in history.
