The Society for Mining, Metallurgy &amp; Exploration is hosting its 2026 Minnesota Conference April 14-16 in Duluth. A leading conference for regional collaboration and growth in the mining industry, the event features industry professionals discussing developments, technologies, trends and innovations shaping the sector.

Warner partners <a href="https://www.wnj.com/people/dennis-j-donohue/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Dennis Donohue</a> and <a href="https://www.wnj.com/people/daniel-p-ettinger/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Daniel Ettinger</a> will co-present “Regulatory Reviews of Mine Projects After Rescission of NEPA Rules.” The session will examine how mining project reviews are evolving following the rollback of long-standing National Environmental Policy Act regulations. It will highlight opportunities for project advancement, potential pitfalls and strategies to position projects for successful review and permitting, including the interplay with cultural and tribal resource reviews and the impact of new Clean Water Act wetland regulations.

He is active in industry associations, including serving as chair of the Michigan Manufacturers Association Mining Committee.

He focuses his practice on mining, renewable and alternative energy, oil and gas and other natural resource development.
