I don't mean to be flippant, but they ought to get these guys gold mining in Alaska from the show "Gold Rush" up to the UP to bring some visibility to it.
I don't know something from Shinola, but my gut tells me where their is salt ( under Detroit ) other minerals are not far behind, Ergo their is oil under Lake Michigan, the whole State maybe under Shale Gas, and the UP may have all these rare metals.
Granholm didn't do a ******* thing to make any of these things happen to put people to work and potentially fill the state coffers...
And Nerd boy is on my "S-List" because he ain't far behind her, not a word about going after these G-d given riches that could help us out of the fiscal mess we are in....
I got to tell ya, Nerd boy Snyder is becoming a big dissapointment fast....
Its all hard rock mining. You have to have the crushers, the mills and all to do it. Its not Gold that is placer type gold like they have in Alaska..although there is a tiny bit like that.
I understand that the Ropes mine was at about 2500 tons to the ounce before it closed back down. But, there was also no exploration as that was a old closed mine that was re-opened.
Takes a lot of money to explore and develop mineral production. What geologist have been saying is that this area was one time one of the highest mountain ranges in the world. In these ancient mountains there are minerals.
Up around this area, there is a lot of sulfur in the water. What causes that sulfur?
But I’m with ya. If we dont go for it, it aint never gonna happen.
