Keweenaw Land Association requesting metallic minerals lease rights to 10,631 acres
UPPER PENINSULA, Mich. (WLUC) – The Keweenaw Land Association is looking to expand its mineral rights within the Upper Peninsula.
The mineral assets company wants to lease about 10,631 acres across Baraga, Dickinson, Iron, Marquette and Menominee counties. If this is approved by the DNR, this would allow the exploration for the presence of metallic minerals in those areas.
Currently, the Keweenaw Land Association owns and manages 400,000 acres of mineral rights within the Upper Peninsula.
As a part of the public comment stage of the direct leasing process, the Michigan DNR held a public information meeting on Wednesday.
