MOUNTAIN IRON â Jay Sanders likes his new digs.
Sanders, a fourth-generation miner from Hibbing, deftly dug into the side of a huge overburden wall at United States Steel Corp. s Minntac Mine at the controls of one the taconite plant s newly-refurbished electric shovels.
âI think it s positive,â Sanders, a United Steelworkers member said as the P&H shovel s huge 41-yard bucket scooped up another load of overburden. âAnytime the company invests in the place you are working is good.â
U.S. Steel on Wednesday took the wraps off the sixth giant electric shovel to be rebuilt in the last few years at its mine and iron ore pellet processing plant in Mountain Iron.
