It’s a big day for the protection of the Boundary Waters! Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz issued an executive order this morning directing the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources and the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency not to issue any mining permits or leases in the area. If it stands, it would likely end the prospects of Twin Metals, a subsidiary of the Chilean mining company Antofagasta. #minnesota #boundarywaters #exploremn #onlyinmn #bwca
