I heard that a couple of months ago, Gogebic Taconite proposed to open up a mine a bit of ways southwest of Hurley. If it is approved of, the company says thousands of jobs will be brought back to the area. In an economy like ours right now, it is really needed. But I really want to know what people of a new mine opening in the area. I know the last mine to have ever been here closed back in the late 1960s. So, what do you think of a new mine opening in the Gogebic Range?

Quite a remote area in the UP. I also have heard of this , along with sever new mines opening.
We here have mixed feelings about the nickle mine . Production to start next year. There are several mines proposed all over the UP..... Lets hope there will be modern approaches , and not like what was done in Marquette County.( took many years, but we do need the mines for jobs). I live 5 miles as the crow flies. Every day my house rocks a little when they blast at noon time.
