A small piece of LTV's taconite processing plant at Erie Mining Company, Hoyt Lakes, Minnesota. Polymet , a mining company with a fairly large northern Minnesota property, plans to use the plant for processing copper and other non-ferrous ores. Taken during the recent convention of the Missabe Railroad Historical Society.

The large buildings at Erie Mine are actually three separate but closely-related plants--an ore crusher, an aggregator which separates the iron from the waste rock, and a taconite pellet plant which packages the ore into the pellets that the steel mill furnaces expect. Near Hoyt Lakes, Minnesota. Taken on a tour with the Missabe Railroad Historical Society.
