What happened

Well supportedReported by 9 independent outlets

The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources notified Franconia Minerals (US) LLC., a wholly owned subsidiary of Twin Metals Minnesota, that it was canceling a state mineral lease. The termination of the lease is set to become effective on November 10, 2026. The decision was made because the company did not meet the required performance and production standards of the lease.
