ABOUT OUR COMPANY

Talon Mine Tours is an educational tour company led by local artists, organizers, and communitiy members who live in rural Aitkin County, Minnesota — where Rio Tinto and Talon Metals propose to build a “nickel mining district” — purportedly for Tesla electric vehicle batteries.*

We offer free pop-up mine tours as well as guided tours of nearby lakes, rivers, wild rice beds, and other places worth protecting. Private tours & other guided educational experiences are also available by request.

We serve our nearby neighbors as well as visiting school groups, environmental & community organizations, mission-aligned businesses, policymakers, and curious family or friend groups.

Do you want to learn more about copper-nickel-sulfide mining & impacts to surrounding places and communities? Are you curious about what people are doing to sustain their lives and livlihoods here? What’s so special about this place, anyway?

Contact us to learn more about our company or to book a tour!
