Minnesota Supreme court upholds lower court's reversal of PolyMet's permit to mine, but reverses the lower court's decision to require additional hearing on several other issues.
Two companies — Twin Metals Minnesota and PolyMet — are hoping to establish what would become a new mining industry for the region, tapping into vast deposits of copper, nickel and precious metals underneath the forests and lakes of the northern reaches of the state.
The state agency said last month's Court of Appeals decision on the copper-nickel mining permits "fundamentally changes long-standing interpretation of state law."
