meaningful public outreach throughout the Y-K region by Donlin Gold and the agen- cies. The permitting process creates a solid foundation that can reassure the public, Calista and TKC the project will be con- structed, operated, and closed as promised. DNR is committed to fulfilling its re- sponsibility to develop Alaska’s natural re- sources with integrity for the good of Alas- ka, and we have high expectations of Donlin Gold. The State will fulfill its regulatory re- sponsibilities to review and evaluate permit applications and enforce the terms and con- ditions of issued authorizations. With continued input from the local communities, TKC, Calista and others— and continued oversight by DNR and other agencies—I believe Donlin Gold can develop this world-class resource safely and for the benefit of the people of the region for years to come.

ith the release of the ROD and receipt of major federal permits, Donlin Gold took a big step forard. But there’s still a lot of ork to do before the project becomes a mine. Our goal is to be a leading example of responsible, safe resource development that benefits our Native corporation partners and their shareholders. BIG STEP FOR RD
