Sitka Deer: Are you a geologist? I am very interested in learning more about the potential for contamination and mining in AK, in general, as I am considering two potential summer opportunities in AK mining. Would you be willing to share some of your research with me, or at least point me in the direction of a few online resources? The problem I have run into is that almost everything I have read online is one-sided and written from an extreme environmentalist perspective. While I realize that the pro Pebble cadre has a vested interest in seeing the mine approved for development, so too, it seems, that the environmentalists seek to stop it by any means necessary. It also appears that the proposed Pebble mine is likely the most controversial in recent memory.
Should you be willing to educate me, please feel free to send me a PM. Thank you.
