Most people browse Twitter from their smart phone. If that's you right now, thank a miner! A typical smart phone contains Copper, Silver, Gold, Palladium, Platinum & ceramic magnetic switches that contain rare earths, indium, titanium dioxide & indium tin oxide. #WhyMiningMatters

Mining has an important role in our world’s continued clean energy transition, including a crucial role in the global fight against #climatechange, according to a new WorldBank report. This means #Minnesota #mining can be part of supplying needed minerals for clean energy.

Even with increased recycling and reuse, we will still need #mining to supply critical minerals to produce low-carbon technologies, according to a new WorldBank report. #Minnesota has a big role to play in supplying these important metals for global carbon reduction.

Emissions from producing and operating renewable energy and storage technologies are just 6 percent of emissions from coal and gas generation (under a 2-degree-Celsius goal), says a new WorldBank report. NE MN energy provider Minnesota Power is helping lead the change, far ....

Low-carbon technologies like photovoltaic, wind and geothermal are more mineral intensive compared to fossil fuel technologies, according to a new WorldBank report. In part, this means that #Minnesota can help supply these important metals for global carbon reduction.

Energy storage technologies will require more production of cobalt—450 percent more by 2050, as projected in a new WorldBank report. #Minnesota can be part of meeting these requirements, and cobalt is one of the minerals #PolyMet plans to mine.

Congratulations to Brad Moore on his announced retirement from #PolyMet. We appreciate his leadership. More: bit.ly/2UCjU7o

MN Supreme Court grants review of an earlier Court of Appeals ruling that remanded our project air permit. #PolyMet believes the MPCA appropriately accounted for the effects of our project on the air shed and is pleased the court will hear the case. More: bit.ly/37CxkWj

Manufacturing solar panels, wind turbines and batteries to address #globalwarming will shape the supply and demand for critical minerals now and in the future, according to a new WorldBank report. ☀️ #Minnesota has a big role to play in supplying these important minerals.

🌎 Rapid deployment of low-carbon technologies to address #climatechange will mean a rising demand for the minerals needed to produce these technologies, according to a new WorldBank report. #Minnesota is part of the solution to supplying these important minerals.

Our President and CEO Jon Cherry has been elected chairman of the #PolyMet Mining Board of Directors as Ian Forrest has retired. We appreciate all Ian has done to guide PolyMet Mining and look forward to Jon's continued leadership. More: bit.ly/31Aejma
