Hiker Group Says Rio Tinto Claim Is False
According to Woodland Road LLC, a group trying to get a new mine and timber hauling road developed in a remote section of western Marquette County, a local hiking group has given its blessing to the controversial plan. North Country Trail Hiker’s President, Lorana Jinkerson, says that statement is an exaggeration. “We’re neutral regarding the mine and road,” says Jinkerson. “We did not do any endorsing.”
