The demolition has ceased for the winter. Most of the buildings have been taken down already. The dry mill, sinter plant, machine shop, crusher buiding, screen plant, boiler house and locomotive shop have all been removed.
The wet mill is about two-thirds down. Demolition will start again in April and should be finished by the end of June. The office building, truck garage and work shop as well as the Foote Cottage will remain for the present time. Iron ore and cob rock will continue to be sold for the next year or two.
NL still owns the mine proper and about a thousand acres of the surrounding land. The rest has been purchased by the Open Space Institute. NL is the entity that has contracted for the demolition.
