What percentage of jobs will be drawn from the local community?
Kennecott has a goal to hire at least 75% of its employee base from the local community and our track record demonstrates this promise. At Flambeau, a Kennecott Copper mine in Wisconsin, the actual number was approximately 84 percent. Kennecott expects similar percentages to apply at peak employment when the Eagle Project turns into a fully operating mine. With the U.P. history in mining we will have a wealth of skilled and experienced miners, engineers, mechanics and other qualified workers with the right knowledge, and responsibility for safety we seek. Kennecott expects to draw from the vast majority of the Marquette community to fill the Eagle employment.
