Tina Lesperance of Stephenson, Michigan, stood nearby in an outfit resembling the grim reaper with a sign that read "Cyanide Kills." The chemical is used in a diluted form to extract gold from ore as part of the mining process. Lesperance said that’s just one reason she opposes the project.
"I’m very fearful that the Menominee River will be poisoned with acid mine drainage, which is actually sulfuric acid," she said. "It’ll kill the fish. It’ll kill the birds — anything that comes in contact with it."
