Overview

Should you consider becoming a member?

If you support Minnesota iron mining, you should be a member of the Iron Mining Association of Minnesota (IMA).
You can build relationships, gain a better understanding of the industry and the issues facing it, and help us advocate on behalf of the thousands of workers in Minnesota’s mines and the businesses and individuals affected by the industry.

You can become a member of the IMA.
