The Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy will soon ask for public comment on the White Pine North Project.
In September, the state received a permit application for the mining operation and an adjacent processing facility from Kinterra Copper USA, LLC. The company acquired the copper and silver concentrate interests earlier this year and has secured financing to advance the project to permitting.
EGLE will host an in-person public comment session Nov. 4 at Ontonagon Area Schools, 701 Parker Ave. The department will hold a virtual session Nov. 10.
Residents who want to submit a comment on the White Pine North Mining Permit Application must email or mail EGLE by Dec. 2. Anyone who wants to learn more about the White Pine North Mining Project can find information through links available online.
