Stauber moves to overturn mining ban

Minnesota Eighth District U.S. Congressman Pete Stauber is moving to overturn a President Joe Biden administration action that aimed to place a federal ban on mining and natural resource extraction on 225,504 acres of land within the Superior National Forest.

Stauber said he will introduce a resolution to nullify the Biden administration action. Stauber’s action comes after the President Donald Trump administration has corrected a Biden administration failure to properly notify Congress on the Biden mineral withdrawal, Stauber said.

“I commend the Trump Administration for correcting the Biden Administration’s failure to properly notify Congress of this mineral withdrawal in the Superior National Forest,” Stauber said in a news release.
