37 years later… https://www.adn.com/commentary/article/bruce-switzer-pebble-project-has-run-its-course-theres-no-workable-mine-plan/2014/05/23/
After 37-years (~1987/1988 Cominco discovery) and >$1 billion spent no company has demonstrated economic mineral RESERVES per a Feasibility Study including NAK who submitted a mine plan to regulatory agencies. No real miner is interested, obviously.
Who would submit an uneconomic mine plan (no reserves) to initiate the NEPA /EIS process?
No change in laws, regulations, state or federal administrations, politicians and board members can make any resource economic.
+60 permits/authorizations required prior to Alaska legislature vote. Permits issued to date ZERO. That’s why no JV or buyout has or will occur even with high commodity prices and low share price.
NAK is a non-miner and has stated their intention to never be the mine operator.
No economic mineral RESERVES.
...nothing.
