SulfideOre Copper mines, which are what Twin Metals intends to propose, are notoriously destructive to environments. As the mining activities progress and material is extracted, the likelihood of Acid Mine Drainage (AMD) increases. AMD is produced when mine tailings (mine waste) are exposed to water and oxygen, becoming very environmentally toxic. Historically, AMD has destroyed previously
