Iron IV
2021-1-21 · IRON MINING TODAY Open pit mining for iron ore replaced shaft mining very early on in the history of the Michigan Iron Ranges. Today, all the underground mines are closed, and only a very few open pit mines are still operating. What remains of the underground mines is often only a few heaps of waste rocks (below) and some slumped landscapes.
