House passes bill to undo Biden mining ban in Minnesota

Published



The House passed a measure that would overturn a Biden administration ban on mining in northern Minnesota and bar future administrations from imposing a similar restriction on the region, which has untapped critical mineral reserves.

On Wednesday, the House voted 214-208 to pass a Congressional Review Act resolution written by Rep. Pete Stauber (R-MN) that would end the Biden administration’s 20-year mining ban on 225,504 acres in the Superior National Forest.
