Mine exploration on hold pending legislation

Gogebic Taconite says it is halting most of its field work for a proposed iron ore mine in the Penokee Mountain Range of Ashland and Iron counties. The push and pull over the proposed four-mile long mine got pulled this week. G-Tac Manager Matt Fifield says they want legislation from Madison before they move forward on the $1.5 billion operation.
