Directory of assisting University Staff:
The mission of this web site is to provide a forum for information, proposals, and ideas on the issues associated with mining in Michigan so you can make more informed decisions about a course of action. It is not sponsored by nor does it always reflect the views of those Companies, Organizations, or individuals whose names or information is found upon its pages. It is a voluntary effort of an independent woodworker because the complex issues of mining require careful study from many perspectives.

Michigan Tech responds to community needs

Four experienced Michigan Tech faculty  join together to help local communities understand the potential impacts of mine exploration and possible mining. While continuing to reach out to concerned citizens of affected areas with personal visits and information, a substantial effort is being made to secure grant moneys for the university to fund this important outreach program.

These moneys would be used to gather and distribute science based information to all affected stake holders. It would include funds for University and local staff, fact sheets, web site, and town meeting expenses.
