About PolyMet and Its Assets
PolyMet, a developmental mining firm, holds a 50% interest in NewRange Copper Nickel LLC, a joint venture with Teck Resources. This venture encompasses the NorthMet and Mesaba deposits in the Duluth Complex of Minnesota, key sources of copper, nickel, cobalt, and platinum group metals. While NorthMet stands as the Duluth Complex’s premier permitted large-scale project, it faces legal challenges regarding its federal and state permits and decisions.
The acquisition by Glencore marks a strategic move in securing significant mineral resources essential for clean energy technologies.
