The nature of mining is that the economic impact, as well as the ore body mined, is finite. Exactly how that economic impact develops, or how it is managed, is an academic exercise at best. I see little to argue about here.

In my opinion the environmental and moral questions are far more important and relevant. Rest assured, the ore body will be mined at some point in the future. It is inevitable. Everyone should be asking themselves two things. Is the MPCA up to the task of protecting the environment, and is it ethical to gobble up resources produced by countries that have little or no environmental standards to support our lifestyle while sitting on one of the richest deposits known?
