[edit] Importance

Is this, as the MN state NRHP source states "The world’s largest open pit mine", or is it merely the largest open pit iron ore mine, as the article states? Go for the broader claim if it is accurate! doncram (talk) 05:31, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

I don't know the answer. I also wonder if it is currently true, considering that some very large mines in China have been developed since that NHL application was written.--Appraiser (talk) 16:21, 23 December 2007 (UTC)
