About this Update
To provide information about the State’s environmental review of Twin Metals Minnesota’s project proposal, the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) has been issuing monthly updates to those who have signed up to receive them on the State web portal for Twin Metals Minnesota project. Due to a change in the status of the project as described below, the DNR is ceasing these monthly updates.
State EIS Process Status
On January 26, 2022, the U.S. Department of the Interior announced the cancellation of two federal mineral leases associated with the proposed Twin Metals project. Given the impacts of this federal action on the project as proposed, the DNR has notified Twin Metals that we have stopped work on the State’s environmental review. The DNR will close the administrative record and redirect staff resources to other high priority projects. The DNR outlined the decision and immediate next steps in a letter today to the company.
