There is more than one company involved and each has its own name. It will be a huge project regardless. One of the biggest players is calling it the "Pebble Project" IIRC.
It is to be open-pit and involving just the rim of a HUGE caldera. Gold is the primary, but silver is also very big. IIRC molybdenum is also on the menu.
Projected start-up is in the next 5 years and will likely involve split-shift work living out there and being returned to Anchorage for time off.
I suspect it will be a lot like Prudhoe Bay was in the early years with a lot of "can to can't" shifts. (show up when you can take it and leave when you can't take it anymore) A week of 7-12s is probable and the money should be quite good...
