Lack of data a recurring theme in Wolfden mine hearing - Piscataquis Observer

MILLINOCKET — Much of the information supplied in a Canadian junior mining company’s rezoning application for a mining project near Pickett Mountain in northern Penobscot County is speculative, according to testimony on the first day of Maine Land Use Planning Commission’s public hearings on the proposal. 



Monday’s testimony and cross-examination regarding Wolfden’s application to change the zoning from a general management and protection area to a planned development area, zeroed in on the company’s financial stability, the actual composition of the mine and the company’s ability to operate a mine.
