Any chance Save the Wild U.P. can provide info on SPECIFIC locations of these drilling and lease sites so folks can go out and check what's going on? (Twp, Range, Section, quarters) Thanks. Feel free to post this comment if you wish. -doug welker- Folks seem to be coming up with all this new info on mineral exploration in the central and western U.P., but all the locations they provide are very general.

Kennecott has publicly announced that it will "explore the possibility" of opening several more sulfide hard rock mines in northern Mqt. Co. Now that the MIDEQ has approved the first, we can expect the others to be rubber stamped into existance. Add to that Prime Meridians explorations and the possibility of a uranium mine, it boggles the mind. Folks, northern Mqt. Co. will become the next industrial center of MI. The small environmental footprint of Eagle Project, as John Cherry likes to call it, will be magnified several fold. We really do not appreciate the total implication of all this activity. We, the public of the U.P. and the State have been sold down the proverbial river, by political and business interests. Just as Rio Tinto has exploited third world countries around the globe, we have found the U.P. and the State cast in the same light. They can buy and sell MI, welcome to the world.
