DNR Commissioner Corri Feige speaks on "Alaska Mining: An Iconic Past; A Brilliant Future," her keynote address to the Alaska Miners Association 80th anniversary conference in Anchorage on November 6, 2019.

Alaska is blessed with both a rich storehouse of mineral wealth, and a rich heritage of mining, Commissioner Feige said. But the challenges of Alaska’s remote location and climatic extremes pushed early miners to innovate, adapt and overcome – and the lessons learned along the way have informed development of a modern mining industry that is safer, more environmentally protective, and more beneficial to those who work in and benefit from developing Alaska’s minerals.
