  6. 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/

  7. Guys, this petition is going around to stop a devastating copper sulfide mine, on the pristine shores of Lake Superior, & right next door to one of last last old-growth forests in the country:

  8. #LakeSuperior and the pristine wilderness in #ThePorkies are worth a lot more than whatever short-term economic gains that might be made from the proposed #CopperwoodMine project. If you agree, please sign the petition via the link in bio, or right here: change.org/p/protect-the-porki

  9. 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.

  10. 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.

  14. The proposed mine would reroute Gypsy Creek and be permitted to dump half a million gallons of wastewater per day into Namebinag Creek; both creeks empty directly into Lake Superior.
