A vast prospective and underexplored jurisdiction
Although large scale mines such as the Teck Resources Red Dog zinc mine, Hecla Mining’s Green’s Creek Mine, Coeur Mining’s Kensington gold mine, Northern Star’s Pogo and Kinross Gold’s Fort Knox all operate year round, the Arctic climate still provides formidable challenges to the smaller operator. The short summer exploration season means that much of the state remains underexplored.
Nonetheless, the state still hosts over 4,440 documented gold prospects, and over 2,700 documented non-gold occurrences, including some of the world’s largest deposits. Today, over 200 million ounces of gold has been delineated, in 20 of 61 placer districts.
A proposed aspen management project for White River National Forest aims to treat up to 20,000 acres of aspen per decade through a mix of prescribed burning and timber harvesting. About 375,000 acres of aspen on the national forest would be eligible for treatment under the proposed project, all outside of designated wilderness areas.

The White River National Forest is asking for feedback by April 20 on a proposed management project that aims to use prescribed burning and tree harvesting to gradually breathe new life into aspen stands across much of the 2.3 million acre forest.
