Cliffs Natural Resources Inc. is hosting an open house on Monday, a requirement as part of the environmental assessment needed to proceed with a chromite mine in the Ring of Fire.
The project, as outlined by the Cleveland-based company, includes the mine site and the accompanying ore processing facility, a ferrachrome production facility which local officials are trying to secure for Thunder Bay, and the transportation infrastructure needed to move equipment, materials and people too and from the mine site.
"During the open house and its project consultants will provide information to the community as well as answer questions about the project," the company says in a statement obtained by tbnewswatch.com. "In addition, the session is designed to garner community feedback."
The open house will be staged Monday from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the Valhalla Inn.
