Friends and foes of copper-nickel mining in northeastern Minnesota are mobilizing their supporters for a public meeting in Duluth on a proposal made in the final weeks of the Obama administration to bar over 234,000 acres of land near the Boundary Waters Canoe Area from further minerals exploration or mining for at least 20 years. Nolan, who represents northeastern Minnesota and was one of the original sponsors of legislation that created the BWCA, is trying to persuade the Trump administration to reverse course.
