Drilling Pebble: work continues into new year at aggressive pace.(SPECIAL SECTION: MINING ISSUE)
[ILLUSTRATION OMITTED]
While the public focus on the Pebble project has involved heated debate between environmental activists and pro-development advocates, exploration work on the Southwestern Alaska copper-gold-molybdenum deposit continues in 2007 at a swift pace.
Eight diamond-core drill rigs are working at Pebble, including three that were specially designed to tap the recently discovered Pebble East mineralization, which can run deeper than a mile below the surface.
Exploration crews plan to work well into December, according to Sean Magee, vice president of public affairs at Northern Dynasty Mines Inc., the owner and operator of the Pebble project.
"Our goal is to drill 240,000 feet this year and we're behind schedule for getting that done, so some will probably leak into 2008," he said in late September. "We're working as aggressively as we can, and don't plan to reduce manpower or drill rigs working into the fall."
