Rick Sandri of North Star Manganese provided the council an update on exploration and study work during the Aug. 12 meeting.
Sandri said NSM is continuing engineering and process optimization aimed at completing a Scoping Study/Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA), with work extending into mid‑2025 (transcript phrasing). He told council minutes that the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources completed its final inspection tied to the 2023 drilling program and reported that boring seals and site reclamation are complete, with no further follow up required. Sandri said technical visits and core sample assessment work will continue into the summer and fall and that NSM is pursuing mineral lease discussions with the DNR on certain state mineral lands in the Emily area. He said Electric Metals/NSM will present PEA results and proposed next steps to the City once the PEA is finished.
The council received the report as an informational update; no formal council action was recorded.
