PATTEN, Maine (AP) — A Canadian company that was rebuked by Maine regulators over a lack of details in a large-scale mining proposal has filed a new petition to develop a mine outside of Patten. The rezoning proposal dated Thursday was filed by Wolfden Resources, which is seeking a permit to extract metallic ore that is rich in copper, lead, zinc, silver and gold.
Wolfden Resource Corp. is trying again to rezone an area in northern Penobscot County, where it hopes to build a metallic metal mining operation. A previous attempt sparked concerns from environmentalists, Maine's tribes and others.
The Newry couple who own the property have taken their case to Superior Court in an effort to clarify what is considered a metal under Maine’s 2017 mining law.
