A month after the EPA’s decision against the Pebble mine, another mining company wants to explore nearby. Southwest Alaska fishermen, tribes, and businesses are voicing concern over a new application to mine in the Bristol Bay watershed, this time for exploration along Kaskanak Creek, southwest of the proposed Pebble prospect.
The Stuy Mines project at Kaskanak is just one of 200 projects in exploration in the area of Bristol Bay.
