The Pebble Blog

The gigantic Pebble copper and gold prospect in Southwest Alaska is one of the touchiest topics in Alaska today.

In this blog, I'll track news that is significant or interesting about the Pebble project. I'll also try to generate discussion and information sharing about some of the claims and counterclaims about the project, and mining in general.

Please keep your comments courteous and on topic. If you violate the ADN comment policy, your posts will be deleted.

About Elizabeth Bluemink ebluemink@adn.com

I've been writing about mining in Alaska since 2004 and without a doubt, it is one of the most interesting topics that I cover at the Daily News. I've been a newspaper reporter for the past 10 years. In the Deep South, I specialized in reporting about environmental conflicts and pollution cleanups. For two years, I covered commercial fishing, mining and logging in Southeast Alaska. In my current job as a Daily News business reporter, I write about mining, tourism, Native corporations and other businesses.

Polling on Pebble

Fyi, a new poll to be released next week.

The following is from a press release I received today:

New research into Bristol Bay residents’ opinions about the Pebble mine project and mineral development in the region will be released this Tuesday, September 22.

The poll is one of the most in-depth surveys of local Bristol Bay residents ever undertaken. Nunamta Aulukestai (Caretakers of our Land), a coalition of eight village corporations, commissioned the poll conducted by Anchorage-based Craciun Research.

Also on Tuesday, the local Alaska Native leaders and commercial fishermen who met with Anglo American executives in London last April will take steps to ensure that the company’s CEO Cynthia Carroll and former board chairman Sir Mark Moody adhere to commitments made to local communities.
