alone would produce 20x the ore output as Red Dog. According to the US

Former Alaska First Lady Part of New Pebble Mine Suit

In a world full of leaders with massive, blinding egos, ours takes the cake. To say that Sarah Palin is inconsistent is like saying Michael Jackson is not getting enough press coverage. Just days after announcing her ‘official’ premature extraction from Alaska’s highest office, Sarah Palin is now fishing in Bristol Bay. Yes, the very same Bristol [...]
Have Crab, will Catch…

Bravo to Captain Sig Hansen who in one fell swoop elevated many outsider’s limited view of Pebble Mine opponents (sparked by the pro-side’s propaganda machine) from tree-hugging environmentalists to a group with hard shells. To say that crab fishermen in Alaska are respected is an understatement. To say that crab fishermen are teetering the line of [...]

The 71,456 of you who voted yes for Clean Water, for Wild Salmon and for Bristol Bay must emerge from this foreign money sponsored defeat. Spread the word. Write letters [...]

The issue of Pebble Mine exudes emotions. The anti-Pebble Mine side sees the possibility of unimaginable consequences for future generations. The pro-Pebble side sees something quite different. To put it simply, the development side sees dollar signs. As Alaskans you must ask yourselves… at what cost?
A fight has been waged that pits billions of dollars of mineral wealth versus the priceless resources centered around [...]
