In-state companies encouraged to use Minnesota-mined minerals
A resolution introduced by an Iron Range legislator in the Minnesota House of Representatives calls on Minnesota technology and medical companies to utilize Minnesota-mined minerals when manufacturing products.
âWhat we need starts with us mining the critical minerals in northeastern Minnesota,â Rep. Spencer Igo, R-Grand Rapids, said of his HC 6 resolution. âIt (the resolution) encourages Minnesota businesses to innovate and work with the mining companies to field and produce their products here.â
Northeastern Minnesota minerals such as iron, copper, nickel and others, should be mined under high environmental standards and used domestically, Igo said.

Big plans revealed for Sassicaia estate as it celebrates 50 years 17th March, 2021 by Patrick Schmitt
In an exclusive interview last week, Sassicaia ambassador Priscilla Incisa della Rocchetta told
the drinks business that big plans were afoot for the Tuscan estate as it marks 50 years since its first wine was made for commercial release.
Having unveiled the 2018 Sassicaia to the trade and press last month, Priscilla said that the latest release marked the 50
th year since Sassicaia’s inaugural commercialised harvest – which was 1968 – although not strictly the 50
th vintage, as the estate chose not to make a wine in 1969 and ’73.
Prior to the 1968 harvest, the wines from Tenuta San Guido were a “private affair”, only to be consumed at the estate.
MY MEMORIES of that day have faded to sensory wisps.
The richness of the aioli in which we dipped our frites. The affable exchange with a waiter who graciously allowed us to stow our stroller near the kitchen entrance. The salinity of oysters appropriately dubbed âOld Saltsâ and the bite of the lemon I spritzed to tame them.
That visit to Kybecca took place on March 6, 2020, but it feels like a bygone era. Five days later, the World Health Organization declared the novel coronavirus a global pandemic. You know the rest.
At the writing of this column, I havenât dined inside a restaurant in more than a year. Neither has any member of my immediate family.
