About this project
NewRange Copper Nickel, LLC (NewRange), formerly known as PolyMet Mining Corp. (PolyMet), is proposing changes to its NorthMet Project, an open‑pit mine and related processing facilities designed to produce copper and nickel‑copper concentrates. Because these proposed changes differ from what was evaluated in the Project’s 2016 Final Environmental Impact Statement (EIS), the DNR is preparing a Supplemental EIS (SEIS). The SEIS will examine the potential environmental effects of the proposed changes and provide updated information for public review and regulatory decision‑making. In addition to the SEIS process, the NorthMet Project will be subject to applicable state, federal, and local permitting requirements. Depending on the nature of the proposed changes, NewRange may be required to obtain new or amended permits before construction or operation may proceed.
