Wolfden Resource Corp. is trying again to rezone an area in northern Penobscot County, where it hopes to build a metallic metal mining operation. A previous attempt sparked concerns from environmentalists, Maine's tribes and others.

Representatives from a Canadian mining company have been meeting quietly with local officials in far northern Maine, hoping to gain support for a controversial proposal that would test the state’s stringent new mining regulations.

The small Down East town of Pembroke has decided to ban industrial-scale mineral mining, following initial exploration by a Canadian-based company that wanted to mine the region for silver.
