Mining Opportunities


The head of the Iron Mine Association of Minnesota sees Canadian opportunities in the growing mining industry in northeastern Minnesota.

Craig Pagel says several new mines are expected in the coming years and companies are always looking for new technologies, no matter where they come from.

"What's important that if you develop a technology or the ability of some certain type of construction that's wanted you can go anywhere in the world," says Pagel. "I think that's what's going to be beneficial for both sides."

Pagel was in Fort Frances yesterday to speak to members of the Fort Frances Chamber of Commerce.
