During the final permitting hearing in late 1976, Rusk County indicated that it did not intend to grant the necessary zoning approvals due to various concerns it had regarding the mining project and the State's mining laws.

 Flambeau Mine
The history of the Flambeau orebody discovery and subsequent mining project is nearly as colorful as some of the minerals recovered from the open pit.

This is a truly outstanding accomplishment since the mine is within 140 feet of the Flambeau River, 500 feet of Highway 27, within 1000 feet of private residences and 2500 feet of a liberal arts college, Rusk County hospital and nursing home.
