About
The largest mine in North America, on top of the largest sockeye salmon fishery?
The Canadian company Northern Dynasty and London-based Anglo American are proposing a copper-gold mine “the Pebble Mine” in southwest Alaska. If developed, it would be the largest mine in North America. And it would be located at the headwaters of the world’s largest wild sockeye salmon fishery.
What Anglo American has said
In October 2007, Anglo American CEO Cynthia Carroll called for an open, transparent discussion about the proposed Pebble Mine, and stated that:
“We do not want to and will not be associated with the development of a mine that damages Alaska’s fisheries and wildlife, or the livelihoods of Alaskan communities. If the mine cannot be planned in a way that provides proper protections, it should not be built.”
Information & accountability
What are the mining companies’ track records?
What do independent scientists say about the Pebble Mine, and its potential impacts?
This website is intended for corporate accountability and information exchange about the proposed mine, its impacts, and the companies behind it by:
- Creating a public forum for discussion by allowing all stakeholders to blog on the site, and all concerned citizens to comment.
- Providing resources for a more informed conversation.
