Minneapolis Star Tribune:
A high-powered Chilean delegation’s visit to Minnesota last week signals strongly that a controversial new type of Iron Range mining isn’t a matter of if, it’s a matter of when. That should give Minnesotans pause, especially during this landmark election year.
Ferried about in a fleet of limousines were the Chilean ambassador and the executive team from one of the world’s leading mining companies – Antofagasta, which is run by Chile's wealthy Luksic family. The delegation met with the governor, legislators and members of the Star Tribune Editorial Board, among others, attempting to generate support for a large underground copper-nickel mine near Ely.
