A judge has agreed to consider another argument from activists suing to void the lease of 120 acres of state land for a nickel and copper mine in the Upper Peninsula.
Ingham County Circuit Judge Paula Manderfield in March upheld the Department of Natural Resources’ decision to lease the property to Kennecott Eagle Minerals Co. The company wants to place its surface buildings and other facilities on the land near the underground mine, in the Yellow Dog Plains region of western Marquette County.
