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.

Hype projections
Are used to build up a companys value. A lot of important contacts are made to inflate the esteam of others to increase value of a company for sale. Remember names like Enron?
Than again maybe someone missplaced a zero or two and the value of the little rock is really there and then some.
Which is greater in value to residents and people of the region?
Will it be the little rock and temporary financial growth with supporting business and population? Or is the way of life and the past and present that binds it all together of more importance?
As for myself and my birthplace I say no to little rock. I also give hype projections about salmon kill, earthquakes, and the environment. Thats my choice. ...Daniel A. Berry
