Per here ⬎ even the copper will be exported - to China - and the mining will impact $1.1 billion in wilderness use revenue.
Way to protect American jobs, resources and revenue, Republican grifters!

%&# Boundary Waters Wilderness mining bill passed, going to be signed into law next. Chilean company owns the mine, has big ties to Vanky, Jared & Donnieboy.
"On Thursday, Senate Republicans voted 50-49 to open the area up to mining — passing a resolution that repeals a 20-year moratorium using a little-known law called the Congressional Review Act, or CRA. "
50-49, with Tillis and Collins voting with Democrats.
Here we go again: mining in Boundary Waters National Park.
"Here’s what’s happening. The House already passed H.J. Res. 140 a resolution that would wipe out the 20-year mining ban protecting the Boundary Waters watershed in Minnesota. 225,000 acres of Superior National Forest. 1,100 lakes. The most visited wilderness in the country."
"Call your senators. Tell them: Vote NO on H.J. Res. 140. Capitol Switchboard: 202-224-3121"
