Wisconsin Crandon Mine Reports
This online collection, The Crandon Mine Reports, provides researchers with access to information about the Crandon Mine permit process that occurred between 1976, when the Exxon Coal and Minerals Company discovered a zinc-copper ore body located in northeastern Wisconsin near the city of Crandon, and 2003, when the Nicolet Minerals Company withdrew its permit applications after purchase of the project lands by the Mole Lake Sakaogon Chippewa and the Forest County Potawatomi Tribes.
Outcomes
The online collection provides long-term preservation of and increased public access to the vast body of material that documents economic mineralization in northern Wisconsin and the Crandon Mine permit process.
