A fiercely contested Minnesota copper-nickel mining proposal is among stymied mineral and energy development projects President-elect Donald Trump has pledged to quickly reanimate after he is sworn into a second Oval Office term on Jan. 20.
The former president said it would be addressed as quickly as “about 10 minutes” during a July 27, 2024, campaign rally with Rep. Pete Stauber (R-Minn.) in St. Cloud, Minnesota. Trump promised to reverse the Biden administration’s 20-year mining ban on 225,500 acres within Superior National Forest and restore rescinded mineral leases held for decades by Twin Metals Minnesota and predecessor companies.
The ban, issued in 2023 by the Department of the Interior (DOI), effectively buried Twin Metal’s $1.7 billion proposal to extract copper, nickel, cobalt, and other minerals on up to 25,000 acres within the national forest in what would the largest open-pit mine in Minnesota history—and first in the state since 1967—that the Chilean-owned company says would employ 850 over its projected 30-year operation.
The proposed mine drew heated opposition from a range of local and national groups that argued it is too close to Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness (BWCAW), a 1.1 million-acre sprawl of ecologically fragile forests, glacial lakes, and streams in northeast Minnesota on the Canadian border.
As the nation’s “most heavily visited” wilderness teeming with wildlife, including wolves and black bears, and cherished for its blue-ribbon walleye, northern pike, and bass fishing, opponents say Twin Metals’ proposed mine on the Kawishiwi River and Birch Lake near Ely would endanger 1,000 jobs and $77 million in annual revenues generated by “out of area” recreational and outdoors enthusiasts.

Controlling Protein Is One of the Globalists’ Primary Goals
Between the globalists, corporate interests, and our own government, the food supply is being targeted from multiple angles. It isn’t just silly regulations and misguided subsidies driving natural foods away. Bird flu, sabotaged food processing plants, mysterious deaths of entire cattle herds, arson attacks, and an incessant push to make climate change the primary consideration for all things are combining for a perfect storm to exacerbate the ongoing food crisis.
The primary target is protein. Specifically, they’re going after beef as the environmental boogeyman. They want us eating vegetable-based proteins, lab-grown meat, or even bugs instead of anything that walked the pastures of America. This is why we launched a long-term storage prepper beef company that provides high-quality food that’s shelf-stable for up to 25-years.
At Prepper All-Naturals, we believe Americans should be eating real food today and into the future regardless of what the powers-that-be demand of us. We will never use lab-grown beef. We will never allow our cattle to be injected with mRNA vaccines. We will never bow to the draconian diktats of the climate change cult.
Visit Prepper All-Naturals and use promo code “veterans25” to get 25% off plus free shipping on Ribeye, NY Strip, Tenderloin, and other high-quality cuts of beef. It’s cooked sous vide, then freeze dried and packaged with no other ingredients, just beef. Stock up for the long haul today.
