Happy Halloween! Be safe and have fun!

Connecting with students about the opportunities in #mining is a huge focus at the IMA, and something our members value! Read more from @NMA_NolanRich about the opportunities in the industry and why YOU should think about mining as a career!

On this Patriot Day we remember those who lost their lives on September 11, 2001, and honor the heroes who sacrifice so much to protect our freedoms.

We wish all of our members a safe and successful week! We hope the Labor Day weekend was a time of rest and reflection on the important work you do. Thank you for your contributions to the iron #mining industry!

A busy start to the greatest get-together of all! Our executive director, @KristenVake , is at the Minnesota State Fair today chatting with folks about iron mining!

The Iron Man takes the spotlight! Thanks to @kare11 for highlighting a memorial in Chisholm that honors the impact of iron miners. We highly recommend making your way to Chisholm to check it out, and learn why it means so much to so many people! kare11.com/article/entert…

Today we celebrated the Bruce Mine Headframe Park & Trailhead in Chisholm! It is the last headframe of underground mining on the Mesabi Range. This is a way to honor thousands of immigrant miners and their descendants who developed the Mesabi Iron Range. Congrats to all involved!

Hundreds of pellet kits, magnets, and other IMA items going out to different organizations today! We love to receive requests for these education materials. It gives folks the opportunity to learn about the iron mining industry and how important it is to all of us!

It’s International Day of Women in Mining! We celebrated with women from NE Minnesota and had great conversations about the future of the industry. To the women who came before us, thank you for the work you did to create opportunities for generations of women to come! #mining

On this Memorial Day we remember the fallen service members for their ultimate sacrifice. We hope you had a safe weekend, filled with reflection.

@PelletPete2 @KristenVake @RepLislegard @DaveLislegard @RepPeteStauber The Iron Range delegation, including @RepLislegard , have done a lot for our iron mining operations, which is our focus at the IMA👍🏼

@IMA_MN @KristenVake Too bad we have @RepLislegard @DaveLislegard down in St. Paul fighting against us instead of for his constituents. Kind of negates the issues @RepPeteStauber is fighting for.

“For decision-makers in Washington, D.C., to actually see how our current operations are contributing to the steel industry, the clean energy movement, and the economy, it is really important. This is a chance to show off the work our miners do each and every day.” - @KristenVake

A POSITIVE OUTLOOK: “An increased use of Iron Range iron ore for modern steelmaking is good news for the company’s northeastern Minnesota miners and its taconite plants.” Read more here:
