Fowler Zinc Mine Reopens
A ribbon-cutting ceremony was held on Tuesday, June 12 at Empire State Mines, a zinc mine in Fowler. The mine officially reopened after the completion of a comprehensive, $33 million investment by Titan Mining Corporation, which has created more than 200 jobs at the site, exceeding the firm's commitment to the state. The Empire State Mines project is being directly supported with a four-megawatt allocation of low-cost hydropower from the New York Power Authority's St. Lawrence-Franklin D. Roosevelt Power Project in Massena, New York. Pictured is Keith Boyle, COO of Titan Mining Corporation, making the big cut.
