The report that this editorial brilliantly skewers is an example of the sulfide-ore mining industry's strategy for foisting its poison and destruction on the Arrowhead. By touting "studies" and "reports" that focus on the Iron Range and taconite mining, the industry seeks to confuse and mislead the public and policymakers. Mining Minnesota and Antofagasta want people to think that sulfide-ore copper mining is just an extension of the kind of mining that has previously occurred in Minnesota, and they want people to think that the mining would occur in the area where taconite mining occurs. By including seven counties and by talking about Duluth extensively in the Praxis report, Mining Minnesota seeks to create the false impression that sulfide-ore mining would provide a broad-based regional boost with no downside. As Marshall points out, the proposed Antofagasta/Twin Metals mine is on the edge of the Boundary Waters in the heart of the Superior National Forest. The threat to the regional economy is not the lack of more mining jobs. The threat to the regional economy is the proposed destruction of land and water in the heart of the landscape that is the real driver of the economy in the Arrowhead. As Marshall's fine writing shows, the industry will do and say anything to support a project that would send billions of dollars to Chile and waste the Boundary Waters watershed.
