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.

Keystone meetings in Anchorage and elsewhere

Comments (0) |

Hi folks:

Here's some upcoming meetings, including one today this afternoon in Anchorage, involving stakeholder dialog on the Pebble project.

I'm in Virginia right now but thought I should get this out on the blog.

I never received any official notice about these meetings, otherwise I would have briefed it earlier!

_____________________________________________

The Keystone Center will visit Southwest Alaska this week to present its finding and recommendations from the Stakeholder Assessment and Dialogue Feasibility Study for the proposed Pebble Mine. The Keystone Center, an independent non-profit organization located in Colorado, conducted interviews with Alaska citizens concerning the proposed Pebble Mine during the spring of 2008. The Center spent much of the summer developing a report and recommendations for a three-stage dialogue process to help Alaska citizens make informed decisions about the proposed mine. Staff members from the Keystone Center will hold discussions of their findings and recommendations in Anchorage, Kenai, King Salmon, Dillingham, and Newhalen throughout the week.

Schedule:

Monday October 13 – Anchorage
4-6 PM at the Williamson Auditorium of the University of Alaska Anchorage
Light snacks will be served

Tuesday October 14 – Kenai
4-6 PM in the Ward Building (Room 116) at Kenai Peninsula College
Lights snacks will be served

Wednesday October 15 – King Salmon
10-12 AM at the Southwest Alaska Vocational Education Center (SAVEC)
Lights snacks will be served

Wednesday October 15 – Dillingham
2:30 – 4:30 PM at the University of Alaska Fairbanks Bristol Bay Campus
Lights snacks will be served

Thursday October 16 – Newhalen
4-6 PM at the Newhalen School
Lights snacks will be served
