I'm sorry I was talking about the Iron Range cities need to organize and attend every event!
This why someone up there needs to organize the cities community's to get involved to move mining toward in Minnesota, that's why the enviro's win all the time they put the pressure on continually
After the president put Scott Pruitt in charge of the EPA, approved the Keystone XL and Dakota Access pipelines, moved to slash the agency's budget to its lowest level in 40 years, and issued orders to roll back the Clean Water Rule, the Clean Power Plan and climate research and science, what could possibly be next?1, 2 ??Will he reopen the Arctic and Atlantic to oil drilling? Will he walk away from the Paris Climate Agreement? ??We're not sitting back waiting to find out. ??The key to stopping the president's anti-environment agenda lies in the Senate. Most, but not all, of his rollbacks will eventually come to the Senate. If we can win and hold 41 votes there, we can stop these rollbacks. ??That's why we have to inform and involve hundreds of thousands of Americans in this effort -- especially those who live in states where senators could go either way on these issues or in states where we need senators to stand up and champion the environment.
Amen to that!
I hope everybody knows that in the next 8 years we are going to see the most growth on technologies then we have see in the last fifty years! These PGM's are a requirement for this growth.
GL
This board may have PLM on its name, but we still need to follow the directions these mine are going because the are interconnected to our investments. It's better to have to much info then not enough!
FYI
Yesterday one of Trumps talking heads on the news did mention the miners in the Minnesota Iron Range! They know we are here, maybe that's why the stock is going weird on us. Who knows.
Direct from Polymet!
http://www.miningminnesota.com/economic-impact/
This proves that the Iron Rangers need to get involved with bus loads of supporter in court, in events and at the investors meeting, so their voices are heard. It's time to take charge of there future,and push Polymet over the finish line!!!
As a PolyMet supporter, we know you understand that northeastern Minnesota’s economy is hurting right now, and the key to improving it is good jobs.? ?You may have heard discussions about the type of jobs that will re-energize the region, including the need for more mining jobs such as those PolyMet will create and the possibility that more tourism jobs can grow our economy.? ?Mining Minnesota just released an economic report of the Duluth-Arrowhead region, which affirms the critical role mining plays in the local economy and tourism’s complementary role.? ?The report illustrates that mining provides good, living-wage jobs and creates broad-based benefits. Tourism makes the area a desirable place for workers to live.? ?Read more and see the full report.??Some highlights of the report:
* Mining contributes significantly more in earnings to Duluth-Arrowhead than tourism – $419 million compared to just $116 million – even with 1,250 fewer jobs.
* In the Duluth-Arrowhead region, the average mining salary is $81,000 compared to tourism’s $18,000 a year.
* Although mining is a smaller industry cluster with 5,140 jobs compared to tourism’s 6,400, 10 percent growth in mining would generate more new jobs, higher earnings and greater tax revenue than equivalent tourism growth.
.
Back at you and the rest of the board! You all have given me many of the missing links to my research, and I thank you for that. As individuals we can't have all the answers but if you don't care who gets the credit, you will accomplish more then you would have ever thought you would!
This is coming to the end soon! GL to you all.
Greg444 as the enviro' alway say. We may be able to stop the Polymet mine, but we can delay it and hopefully bankrupt them !
Too support your post Galingale. Check out the history stock price of PLM March 2014 and you will see that you are right on your post!
I don't own any NAK shares. I just follow similar stocks in the same industry so I have a base to follow the trends of mining future movement.
Do you also track NAK, because they are a good comparison they seem to mirror each other. There price is now dropping too!
IMO
It looks like a last ditch effort to chase out of the small PLM stockholders at the bottom so a larger investor or investors can increase their investment gains.
Waterfrozen you are right about that, it doesn't make sense. All the news coming out right now is a positive for permits soon.
As for the lawsuits the environmentalists are not suing Polymet, they are suing the state of Minnesota, who do you think has deeper pockets, and who gets 8% of everything that come out of that ground! If the iron Rangers came out in force to the land exchanged hearing I think the anti mining movement would be out numbered and fade away.
GL to all!

Follow PLM and NAK all the mining stocks seem to be moving in the same directions at the same time.
Has anybody notice that PLM and NAK are mirroring each other this week
We can all seat on this board and complain and sit on our hands about the direction the stock is moving. I was at polymet last investor meeting in Toronto Canada, and there was only a couple of investor there to give their voice on what direction the company was going! Polymet will be having there annual investor meeting this spring / summer we need to encourage all investors plus every member of this Polymet board should attend this meeting, because I believe this will be the most important share holder meeting ever! We need the officers of Polymet to understand we all invested in Polymet during the hard times and we value our investment with the company, and now is the time for them to focus on the investors to make sure the investors get there return on their investment. If you don't attend. It will be your own fault if this investment goes sour!!!
Contact anybody you know who is a investor of PLM and encourage them take a road trip with you to the meeting.
GL
Yes. Yoda may the PLM force be with you!
EBO
They are worried now!!!
Why is this Earth Day unlike any other?
No previous president has ever put a person in charge of the Environmental Protection Agency who made a career out of suing the EPA to stop it from protecting our environment.1
No previous president has ever proposed slashing the EPA's staff and funding by nearly a third -- a move he made while ordering his administration to roll back clean air and water protections and end the federal role in climate science.2
So far, this Congress is equally beyond the pale, voting let coal companies dump more waste in streams and make it easier to sell off public lands.3, 4
We can stop most of these backward moves. But we need your help.
The same with NAK 50/50
NAK and PLM are following cycle of dips right now!
Great find! Thanks!
We can take the federal regulations off our plate, but now we need to focus on our own state of Minnesota setting up the regulating road blocks for mining!
Happy Easter to all.
Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Scott Pruitt told dozens of Pennsylvania coal miners Thursday that the “regulatory assault” on their industry is over, and that the environment can be protected without hurting business.
“We’re going to do it the American way, grow jobs and show the rest of the world how it’s done,” Pruitt said before going on a mine tour about 50 miles south of Pittsburgh.
“The regulatory assault is over,” he said, referring to tightened environmental and other regulatory standards on coal and other energy industries under former President Barack Obama. “We’re going to partner together with you.”

Op-ed: U.S. must jumpstart minerals production
Resource Type: Media Room
In 1990, the United States led the world in metals and minerals production. This was great news for America’s manufacturers because it meant they had ready access to the copper, gold, platinum, and silver needed to power everything from electronics and automobiles to solar panels and power plants.
However, something troubling has happened over the past 25 years. Mineral extraction in the United States has plummeted drastically — to the point where America now ranks seventh in global production. The real-world consequence of this lost mining capacity is that we now import roughly $27 billion worth of minerals every year. In fact, America is now completely import-dependent for 19 key minerals, and more than 50 percent dependent for another 24 important minerals.
This is a critical issue because these are the very minerals and metals needed to create the energy infrastructure of the 21st century. For example, in order to produce hybrid cars, we need secure, reliable supplies of zinc. Solar panels require ample amounts of both gold and silver. And wind turbines necessitate copious supplies of copper, zinc, and molybdenum.
This explains why the U.S. Department of Energy has made critical minerals a national priority, especially since they contribute to a variety of new energy technologies.
The real irony of our dependence on imported minerals is that the United States is already blessed with an incredibly abundant array of these same natural resources. Geologists estimate that America possesses some of the greatest mineral reserves on the planet — worth an estimated $6.2 trillion.
Essentially, we are sitting on top of the very raw materials needed to transform energy demands globally. And so, we urgently need to address a situation where America is often importing the very same minerals it already possesses.
Specifically, what’s needed to support America’s energy future is a plan to address the one key problem holding us back: Our outdated minerals mine permitting process.
It currently takes anywhere from seven to 10 years for U.S. companies to navigate the permitting requirements necessary to open a new mine. In contrast, mine permitting in countries like Australia and Canada, which maintain comparable environmental standards, requires only two to three years. If the U.S. could overhaul its outdated permitting process, and expedite the opening of new mines, we could see a much-needed expansion of domestic supplies of these crucial minerals.
Thankfully, the Senate is currently taking up an Energy Policy Modernization Act that includes language introduced by Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) to address the production of critical minerals. Specifically, Sen. Murkowski’s legislation calls for geological surveying of critical mineral resources, and aims to reduce federal permitting delays by requiring both coordination among agencies and establishing deadlines.
Passage of the Energy Policy Modernization Act would help spur minerals production throughout the United States, and help to provide the resources needed for an energy boom already underway in America. Such supplies are crucial to new energy technologies that could bring America one step closer to a true “all-the-above” energy policy that embraces everything from renewables and nuclear power to more conventional sources.
It’s past time to overhaul our outdated mine permitting process and make the United States more self-reliant in vital minerals production.

Trump proposed eliminating major climate programs as part of a 31 percent cut to the EPA’s budget, though those changes would not be effective until later this year, if Congress approved them.
Mick Mulvaney, director of the White House’s Office of Management and Budget, told reporters last month that Trump does not believe climate is a worthwhile cause for federal spending.
“I think the president was fairly straightforward — we’re not spending money on that anymore; we consider that to be a waste of your money to go out and do that,” he said.
Bloomberg BNA first reported the news about shutting down the EPA’s adaptation programs Friday.
The official said regional offices in areas especially susceptible to the effects of climate change, like the South, have always taken the lead on adaptation and will continue to do so.
“It was redundant. A lot of the regions are already doing a lot of this work,” the official said.

BLM 2.0 seems to be getting some traction.
CONGRESSMAN CHENEY LEADS EFFORT TO REPEAL BLM PLANNING 2.0
January 30, 2017 Press Release
Congressman Cheney Leads Effort to Repeal BLM Planning 2.0
?For Immediate Release: January 30, 2017
Washington, D.C. – Today, Congressman Liz Cheney introduced legislation in the House of Representatives, under the Congressional Review Act (CRA), to block implementation of the BLM’s Planning 2.0 rule. Planning 2.0, implemented in the waning days of the Obama Administration, undermines local land management, dilutes the authority of our county commissioners, and opens up the possibility that foreign non-governmental organizations would have input in Wyoming’s land use management planning process.
“Under the Obama Administration, lands in Wyoming and all across the west were the target of aggressive federal regulations that were devastating to our jobs, our land, and our way of life. Following weeks of consultation with fellow Members of Congress, Governor Matt Mead and numerous state industry and local government groups, I’m pleased to introduce legislation to repeal BLM Planning 2.0,” Congressman Cheney said.
“Planning 2.0 represents a federal power grab that ignores expert knowledge and undermines the ability of state and local governments to effectively manage resources and land use inside their own districts. Planning 2.0 dilutes the authority of governors, state regulators, local governments and the public to engage in collaborative land use management planning across huge swaths of the American West. I look forward to continue working hand-in-hand with Senators Enzi and Barrasso, as well as other leaders in Congress and the Executive Branch, as we repeal ineffective, unconstitutional and out-of-control federal regulations that stand in the way of meaningful economic growth and job creation for Wyoming,” Cheney concluded.
"BLM Planning 2.0 is an example of the type of Obama Administration regulations that have placed a tremendous burden on businesses and local government officials across the west. Congressman Cheney deserves to be commended for moving swiftly in consultation with local industry, as well as state and federal officials, to champion the effort to reverse this rule and bring much-needed relief from last minute actions taken by the Obama Administration,” House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy said.
On Background
The Congressional Review Act (CRA) is an oversight tool that Congress may use to overturn a rule issued by a federal agency. When Congress passes a law, it grants rulemaking authority to federal agencies to implement provisions in the law.
Under the CRA, once a rule is finalized and transmitted to Congress, a 60 day window begins where a member of Congress can introduce a resolution of disapproval to repeal the recently finalized agency rule. Resolutions of disapproval introduced during this 60 day window enjoy fast-track consideration in the Senate. This makes it much more likely that these resolutions will pass in the Senate and ultimately be signed into law.
Congressional Review Act (CRA) Text Relating to BLM Planning 2.0:
Disapproving the rule submitted by the Department of the Interior relating to Bureau of Land Management regulations that establish the procedures used to prepare, revise, or amend land use plans pursuant to the Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976.
Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That Congress disapproves the rule submitted by the Bureau of Land Management of the Department of the Interior relating to ‘‘Resource Management Planning’’ (published at 81 Fed. Reg. 89580 (December 12, 2016), and such rule shall have no force or effect.

I agree even if they ever tried to sell out too a mining company the PGM resources will be factored in the price. All the investors will insist on it$$$$$!!!
Why do you think the state put a buffer around from any water source in Minnesota.
