Minnesota is a top five mining state in the nation because of iron mining . Regional iron mines produce 40-45 million tons of ore each year , which accounts for over 85 % of domestic iron ore .
For more than 138 years , Minnesota ’ s iron mines have mined the ore that built , defended , and supported our nation – right next to some of the cleanest water in the nation . That ’ s because environmental stewardship is a core value of our industry .
In Minnesota , former iron mine sites are now used for bike trails , golf courses , fishing and swimming lakes , and even sources of drinking water for local cities and towns .
The IMA is proud to represent YOU , the dedicated , responsible , innovative , hardworking men and women who safely provide the majority of the nation ’ s iron ore , and we want to help spread the message of your important work . Thank you for your important work to keep this industry and region strong and prosperous .
