MARQUETTE — The Marquette County Board expressed support and encouragement for Kennecott Mineral Company’s plans to reuse the abandoned Humboldt mill.
Kennecott would use the facility to refine rock from its proposed Eagle Project mine on the Yellow Dog Plains.
While the county board has not gone on record specifically supporting the Eagle Project, it has officially given its backing to mining operations that comply with state and federal laws and regulations.
During its regular meeting Tuesday night, board Chairman Gerry Corkin read a letter addressed to Eagle Project Manager Jon Cherry stating the county’s support for the Humboldt project.
I am a native of the Carney-Nadeau region.
What “significant” mineral discovery is Mr. Corkin talking about. The only thing that I am aware of is a lot of boring activity in the Stephenson area. Also I believe that in the 1970’s there was some interest by Exxon Minerals in low grade Uranium deposits NW of Nadeau. Anyone out there have any info on this
matter?
