For 20 years, the Red Dog Mine north of Kotzebue has been a key contributor to Alaska’s economy, creating jobs, investment and community benefits to the area. Today, as the main deposit nears exhaustion, the mine operator (Teck), and its land owners (NANA Regional Corporation) are preparing for the next 20 years by moving mining operations to the adjacent Aqqaluk deposit.
Jim Kulas , manager of environmental services at Red Dog Mine and Rosie Barr , assistant business development manager at NANA Regional Corporation, will discuss the future of the world’s largest zinc mine and the economic impact of its upcoming operations on Alaska.
More than 100 Red Dog employees live in Anchorage and Anchorage is Teck Alaska’s headquarters. The mine purchases about $100 million in goods and services each year from 250 Anchorage businesses.
