ALASKA MINERS IN ACTION
AMA members and staff attended the American Exploration & Mining Association’s annual meeting in December in Sparks, Nev. Among those who gave presentations as part of the Alaska mining session of the event were David “Zoom” Szumigala of DGGS, Dave Stieren of AIDEA, Nathan Smith of Black Gold Transport, Kevin Fox and Ben Machlis of Donlin Gold, Dave Larimer of Contango Ore and Mike Satre of Hecla Mining Company. In addition, AMA Projects & Communications Manager Carin Currier (below, right) graduated from the AEMA Society, a program that matches young individuals in mining with mentors as part of a yearlong mentorship. Carin completed the leadership/HR/Succession Planning focus under the mentorship of Jon Gilligan, President & CEO of Liberty Gold. Thank you to everyone who attended to share our Alaska mining story and congratulations to Carin!
