Ironwood Township, Wakefield Township, Erwin Township, Gogebic County Board of Commissioners and Gogebic County Road Commission Unanimously Approve New Resolutions of Support <\/em> <\/strong><\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

MARQUETTE, Mich. and VANCOUVER, Canada<\/strong> \u2014 Communities in the Western Upper Peninsula of Michigan are reaffirming their support for Highland Copper Company\u2019s Copperwood Mine, a project that is expected to create more than 700 direct and indirect jobs while safeguarding the surrounding natural resources. The board members for Ironwood Township, Wakefield Township, Erwin Township, Gogebic County Board of Commissioners and the Gogebic County Road Commission have once again unanimously approved resolutions of support for the Copperwood Mine, demonstrating the local communities\u2019 continuing desire for the project to move forward to the benefit of its residents, businesses and the region\u2019s economic growth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe resolution that the Gogebic County Board adopted supports the Copperwood Mine Project, knowing that they are transparent in their work and developing safe and accountable mining,\u201d said Dan Siirila, Chairman of the Gogebic County Board of Commissioners<\/strong>. \u201cThe County Board realizes the critical importance of the approval of the grant for energy, infrastructure for roads and broadband. This mine will give Gogebic County\u2019s economy the boost that it so needs and deserves.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Copperwood project in Wakefield and Ironwood Townships in Gogebic County presents a once-in-a-generation opportunity for Michigan and the Western Upper Peninsula. Highland\u2019s grant request from the State of Michigan to advance the project will help make possible critical infrastructure investments the region cannot afford on its own. Investments like improvements and upgrades to local roads, power and telecommunications will support the project and surrounding communities for years to come. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Wakefield Township has long supported Highland Copper and its commitment to responsible mining,” said Mandy Lake, Wakefield Township Supervisor <\/strong>“This project will bring good-paying jobs, strengthen our economy and create new opportunities for families in the Western UP.  We\u2019re excited to see the Copperwood Mine move forward and create a stronger future for our township and beyond.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIronwood Township knows the importance of its mining heritage and the opportunities it brings for the future, which is why we have approved a new Resolution of Support for the Copperwood Mine project,\u201d said Ironwood Township Supervisor Jay Kangas.<\/strong> \u201cMining has long been a cornerstone of the Gogebic Range, shaping our identity and community. We deeply appreciate the commitment of Highland Copper and everyone involved in moving this project forward.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Copperwood project is one of very few fully permitted greenfield copper mines in the United States and meets the strict environmental standards established by the State of Michigan. Michigan\u2019s mining laws, passed with the support of environmental advocacy groups, are regarded as the most stringent mining regulations in the nation. The project design seeks to minimize and mitigate environmental impact, monitor and protect local water, and safeguard Lake Superior and the Porcupine Mountain State Park. To this end, Copperwood will preserve or create wetland at a factor of 12:1 relative to wetland impacted. The project will not draw water from Lake Superior, and it will self-fund a responsible closure plan that includes dismantling key infrastructure and restoring natural habitats at the end of mine life.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI am confident that the state of Michigan has done their due diligence to protect the environment,\u201d said Erwin Township Supervisor Larry Grimsby.<\/strong> \u201cThis mine represents a major opportunity. Not just for Gogebic County, but for the entire region to bring good jobs, economic growth and long-term stability to our communities.”  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Twenty-one units of government, ranging from townships to county boards, have issued resolutions of support, nearly ten local institutions have submitted letters of support and dozens of community leaders and elected officials have spoken publicly in support.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Copperwood Mine will keep our families in the U.P,\u201d said Garth Stengard, manager of the Gogebic County Road Commission. <\/strong>\u201cMy son, like many other young people, would love to build his future here. Without good-paying jobs, that dream is not an option. This project has the potential to bring stability to our communities. It means better infrastructure, thriving businesses and a future where younger generations can stay and succeed.\u201d  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAmerica\u2019s advanced manufacturing and national security depend on our ability to mine materials like copper locally. That\u2019s why projects like Copperwood are so important to the future of the U.P. and our country,\u201d said Marty Fittante, CEO of InvestUP.<\/strong> \u201cFor decades, the U.P. has proven that mining can be done safely while protecting the environment and creating jobs for the local community.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe people who live in the Western Upper Peninsula know it is possible to balance mining, recreation and a desire to protect our environment. We are grateful that the representatives of the people of the Western U.P. stand in support of Copperwood,\u201d said Barry O\u2019Shea, CEO of Highland Copper, <\/strong>Copperwood\u2019s parent company. “The strong support the Copperwood Project has received from local boards is a clear testament to how much these communities want this project to move forward.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
