Survey lowers grade iron ores on Gogebic Range
A state survey of low grade iron ores in upper Michigan is under way as high grade supplies dwindle.

The effort aims to map extent and accessibility of low grade ore for future production, including the Ishpeming and Gogebic districts, to aid producers when higher grade ore is depleted.
