Gov. Mark Dayton plans to fill a new
position of Minnesota mining cooordinator. 

      Mining industry officials asked Dayton last week to appoint the
new position.


      The cooordinator would serve as a first point of contact for
questions on state mining regulations.


      Iron Range Resources and Rehabilitation Board Commissioner Tony
Sertich says the Dayton administration hopes to fill the position "as quickliy
as possible."


      Sertich says the new mining coordinator won't be able to bypass
or change any state regulation but will help companies "navigate
through the process."


      Sertich says former IRRRB Deputy Commissioner Brian Hiti
will fill the role temporarily.
