THE ALASKA MINER JOURNAL: The publication is member-only news mailed to AMA members, eight times a year, in months when the Magazine is not published. The Alaska Miner Journal is dedicated to those who work in and support the mining industry in Alaska, its commitment to the people, and the resources of our state. Our goal is to disseminate information on responsible mineral development, educating the public about the value of mining, providing information for our membership and the general public, and providing policymakers the information they need to understand the mining industry and monitor political and regulatory processes affecting mining in Alaska.

A Message from the Executive Director
Talking about ourselves? Nope. Not doing it. Other people talking about us? Always.
Telling our story is critical to the accurate portrayal of Alaska’s mining industry. If we don’t do it, someone else will, and it very likely won’t have chapters on safety, environmental protection, economic benefits and the wonderful people who work in mining every day. Even if those telling the story don’t have nefarious intentions, they may still not have the big picture. What is second nature to us is often misunderstood and foreign to the people outside of industry who rely on us. That’s why we have made telling our story a priority, and I am so excited to unveil this newly formatted, but same great storytelling in the Alaska Miner Journal. It is here that readers will learn about Donlin Gold’s safety program going beyond the mine and into the region, and what Alaska miners in Juneau do to bring mining activities to their community. Here you will read about mining’s close connections with our University system, growing future employees. You’ll read through efforts on permitting improvements, and smile at tributes to industry legends that have left this earth. Finally, you’ll be able to look forward to the time when all of our stories merge: the AMA Annual Convention in November. Our country, our voters and our government need to understand that our future depends on mining, and Alaska is a top jurisdiction to provide the minerals that are essential for everything from cellphones to fighter jets. Alaska is the safe, respon- sible, and beneficial place to produce a mineral supply, rather than procure from countries that actively work against us. With your continued help, we will keep telling this story loudly and proudly. We’ll write in this Journal about the great things you are achieving, such as safety records and environmental awards. We’ll invite you to provide updates on our statewide membership Zooms, and share your coverage on our popular social media channels. We will engage in any possible way to ensure that the story being told about you is what we see with our own eyes every day. I’m looking forward to telling stories over the next few months as an unprecedented number of high-ranking decision makers visit our state to learn about our major resource industries. They have been informed that Alaska is a state with the min- erals, energy and other stellar resources to be an asset to our country, and they’re seeing the real story with their own eyes when they are here. I have been proud to show them what a placer mine is truly like, and meet the miners who understand their land so well, they educate agency personnel on how to take care of it. It fills me with pride to show that an underground mine in a National Monument can be the top silver producing mine in the nation. And it is incredibly gratifying to connect them with the people at our mines and projects that live, work, and play in their communities and take pride in everything they do. These stories, whether they are written on a page, shown on a screen, or seen with the eyes are what will build the next chapter of our industry: growth, new opportuni- ties and far-reaching benefits for all. I hope to see you all with my own eyes very soon!

A FRESH LOOK FOR A TRUSTED VOICE Yes, you’re reading something new, and something trusted!
With this issue, we’re proud to introduce a bold new look for The Alaska Miner Journal. We’ve created a visual redesign that reflects our continued commitment to excellence, relevance, and connection within Alaska’s mining community. As you know, there has been an Alaska Miner Journal for most of AMA’s 80-plus years. So we started with a core question that guides everything we do: How can we better serve AMA members, partners, and readers? The answer led us to update our visual identity with modernized layouts, clearer typography, and a refreshed structure that puts key content front and center. Our goal was to create a publication that’s more engaging, more dynamic to explore, and more impactful in sharing the stories that define Alaska mining: yours. Whether it’s a regulatory update, a major industry achievement, or a profile of someone making a significant impact in the field, we’ve reimagined every page to better celebrate and connect our mining community. These changes also reflect the evolving role of AMA’s publications. While
The Journal and The Alaska Miner Magazine have long been go-to sources for information, advocacy, and industry connections, we see them as vital platforms for amplifying the voices of Alaska’s resource community and connecting our members across the state and beyond. Stay tuned: A fresh new look for The Alaska Miner Magazine will be hitting your mailboxes this fall. We’re grateful to the AMA team, our contributors, and our readers for helping bring this new design to life. And we’re excited to keep growing, evolving, and telling the story of Alaska mining together. Thank you for reading and for being part of this next chapter. - From your Fireweed Strategies partners

UAF Chancellor White Announces Retirement
Chancellor White has served as UAF chancellor since July 2017. He pre- viously served as UA vice president for academic affairs and research. He joined UAF faculty in 1995 as a professor of civil and environmental engineering and served in a variety of leadership roles at UAF before joining the UA System Office in 2015. At UAF, he served as director of the Institute of Northern Engineering, associate vice chancellor for research and head of the Office of Intellectual Property and Commercialization, and interim vice chancellor for research. He has a bachelor’s degree in physics from Colorado College, a bachelor’s degree in civil engineering from Washington University and a doctorate in civil and environmental engineering from the University of Notre Dame. “I’m incredibly grateful for Chancellor White and his decades of dedicated service to UAF, the UA System, and the people of Alaska,” UA Board of Regents Chair Ralph Seekins said. “While we are sad to see him leave this role at the end of July, I’m pleased he’ll continue to be affiliated with UAF as faculty. On behalf of myself and the Board, I thank Chancellor White for his years of service to UAF and the UA System - he will be dearly missed.”
U niversity of Alaska Fairbanks Chancellor Dan White – a strong advocate for students, educators, and Alaska’s economic industries – retired as chancellor on July 26, concluding 30 years of service to UAF and the University of Alaska. During his tenure, UAF’s exter- nal research portfolio more than dou- bled to over $200 million annually as he led the university through a series of challenges and returned the insti- tution to enrollment growth over the last two years. “I am so grateful to the University for affording me a long and rewarding career,” Chancellor White said. “Teddy Roosevelt once said that the great- est reward in life is the opportunity to work at work worth doing, and I couldn’t agree more. Serving this institution has been a privilege, and I am looking forward to what life has in store for me next.” In the immediate term, Chancellor White will maintain affiliation with
UA through his role as faculty of Civil Engineering. UA President Pat Pitney will consult with UAF leadership, governance and other stakehold- ers to appoint an interim chancellor while UA searches for a permanent chancellor. She will consult with UAF leadership and other key internal and external stakeholders on the interim selection in the coming weeks. "Chancellor White has been an incred- ible leader for UAF, and a steadying force for the university and university system,” UA President Pat Pitney said. “His forward thinking and preparation, along with his experience as UAF fac- ulty, have been a true asset to me and the entire UA System, and he'll be very missed. As we navigate the next steps of selecting an interim chancellor and searching for UAF's next permanent chancellor, I'm committed to open, two-way communication with UAF stakeholders as we work to continue the University's ongoing success, and maintain the stability that’s been built during Dan's tenure."

was increased from that in the 2022 Pre-Feasibility Study from 53,000 tpy to 175,000 tpy while maintaining a 20-year mine life. Measured plus Indi- cated Resources increased to 322% of the PFS resource. The FS, effective March 25, 2025, projects a post-tax internal rate of return of 27%, using an 8% discount rate, with a net present value of $5.03 billion and a payback period of 7.5 years. FAST-41 streamlines the permitting process by providing improved time- liness and predictability by establish- ing publicly posted timelines and pro- cedures for federal agencies, reducing unpredictability in the permitting process. FAST-41 also provides issue resolution mechanisms, while the federal permitting dashboard allows all project stakeholders and the general public to track a project’s progress, including periods for public comment. The project is planned as an integrat- ed business operation to produce lithium-ion battery anode materials and other graphite products for the U.S domestic market on a com- mercial scale using primarily natural graphite from Alaska. The project combines the operation of an advanced graphite manufac- turing facility to be located in Warren Ohio, subject to financing, with the supply of natural flake graphite from the Company’s proposed Graphite Creek Mine in Alaska. The resources associated with the Company’s Alaska State mining claims were cited by the U.S. Geolog- ical Survey in January 2022 as Amer- ica’s largest natural graphite deposit, and in 2023, “as among the largest in the world.” This precedes the FS-ver- ified deposit amount increase. The Company entered into a non-binding letter of interest with the EXIM Bank in September 2024 for a potential $325 million loan to fund the Ohio manu- facturing facility.

Solutions Beyond Expectations.
G raphite One Inc. announced that the Company’s Graphite Creek project – the upstream anchor for G1’s complete U.S.-based advanced graphite supply chain – has completed the FAST-41 60-day Coor- dinated Project Plan process, with the resulting plan for reviews, autho- rizations and timeline posted on the FAST-41 Federal Dashboard. Graphite One’s project is the first Alaskan mining project to be listed on the FAST-41 Dashboard. “The ability to coordinate with all par- ticipating federal agencies involved in our permitting, develop a transparent plan for the process and post that plan publicly is a testament to the FAST-41 process and the predictabil- ity and transparency it provides,” said Anthony Huston, CEO of Graphite One. “With President Trump’s Critical Mineral and Alaska Executive Orders, Graphite One is positioned at the leading edge of a domestic Critical Mineral renaissance that will power transformational applications from energy and transportation to AI infra- structure and national defense.” Established pursuant to Title 41 of the Fixing America’s Surface Trans- portation Act (FAST-41), the CPP is a concise plan for coordinating public and agency participation in, and com- pletion of, any required federal envi- ronmental reviews and authorizations for the Project. The CPP is developed by the lead/facilitating agency, in con- sultation with each coordinating and

participating agency. FAST-41 encour- ages lead/facilitating agencies to have preliminary engagement with project sponsors when developing CPPs. The CPP contains: • A list of, and roles and responsibilities for, all entities with environmental review or authorization responsibilities for the Project. • A permitting timetable that includes intermediate and final completion dates for action by each agency on any federal environmental review or authorization required for the Project, and to the maximum extent practica- ble, the dates by which State permits, reviews and approvals must be made. • A discussion of potential avoidance, minimization, and mitigation strate- gies, if required by applicable law and known. • Plans and a schedule for public and tribal outreach and coordination, to the extent required by applicable law. Graphite One’s domestic supply chain is planned to produce graphite con- centrate from the Graphite Creek deposit North of Nome, Alaska and Anode Active Material at a facility to be constructed in Warren, Ohio, subject to financing. FAST-41 status follows publication of Graphite One’s Feasibility Study filed on April 23, which, with the support of the Department of Defense Produc- tion Act (DPA) award, was completed 15 months ahead of schedule.

Red Dog Mine zinc output tops expectations BY NORTH OF 60 MINING NEWS
conditions allow – typically, from July until October. This year, the shipping season at Red Dog began on July 11. Based on the performance over the first half of 2024, Red Dog is on pace to produce roughly 507,000 metric tons (1.11 billion lb) of zinc this year, which accounts for nearly 4% of all the annual zinc mined globally, according to annual production numbers provided by the U.S. Geological Survey. Teck, however, expects annual zinc production at Red Dog to fall signifi- cantly over the coming years as the quantity and quality of ore dwindle in the deposits immediately surround- ing the mill. Here is Teck's current Red Dog metals production guidance out to 2028: • 410,000 to 460,000 metric tons (903.9 million to 1.01 billion pounds) of zinc and 70,000 to 90,000 metric tons
upper end of this annual production guidance as it enters the second half of the year. At 14.3% zinc, the grade of the ore processed through the mill at Red Dog during the second quarter remains world-class; however, it was 10% lower than the 15.8% zinc grades processed during the first quarter of 2024. The lower grades were partially offset by an 8% increase in ore pro- cessed through the mill and slightly higher zinc recoveries. The production metrics were similar for lead. The Red Dog mill recovered 27.5 metric tons of the battery mate- rial during the second quarter, which is down roughly 5% from the second quarter of 2024. Zinc and lead concentrates pro- duced at Red Dog over the winter months are stored in large buildings at the Delong Mountain Transporta- tion System port, roughly 50 miles southwest of the mine and mill, to be loaded on ships when ice
Dog operation, is one of the world's largest undeveloped zinc deposits. While an industry-compliant resource has yet to be published, Teck has previously reported that Aktigiruq hosts 80 to 150 million metric tons of material averaging 16 to 18% combined zinc and lead. This would be enough ore to provide the Red Dog mill with high-grade feedstock for 25 to 50 years at current production rates. Anarraaq, which lies just south of Aktigiruq, hosts 19.4 million metric tons of inferred resource averaging 14.4% zinc and 4.2% lead, according to the most recent calculation published by Teck. In mid-December, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers approved permits to build a road and other infrastruc- ture to support exploration and development activities at the Akti- giruq-Anarraaq Extension Project.
(154.3 million to 198.4 million pounds) of lead in 2026. • 365,000 to 400,000 metric tons (804.7 million to 881.8 million pounds) of zinc and 60,000 to 80,000 metric tons (132.3 million to 176.4 million pounds) of lead in 2027. • 290,000 to 320,000 metric tons (639.3 million to 704.5 million pounds) of zinc and 50,000 to 65,000 metric tons (121.3 to 143.3 million pounds) of lead in 2028. The current reserves are expected to be completely exhausted by 2031. Teck, however, is currently advancing additional world-class zinc deposits on state lands in the wider Red Dog district that could provide future ore. This includes the Aktigiruq-Anar- raaq Extension Project north of the mill, which hosts a large orebody with zinc grades similar to what is currently being mined from the pits adjacent to the mill at Red Dog. Aktigiruq, which lies about nine miles north-northwest of the current Red
T eck Resources Ltd. Reported in late July that its Red Dog Mine in Northwest Alaska produced 136,600 metric tons (301.1 million pounds) of zinc during the second quarter of 2025, a 17% increase over the first quarter 116,800 metric tons (257.5 million pounds), but down 2% from the 139,400 metric tons (307.3 million pounds) produced during the same period last year. While Red Dog zinc output was down slightly from last year, the second quarter production from the lower-grade reserves being fed through the mill as the more than three-decade-old mine reaches the end of its reserves.
"Red Dog performed well despite lower grades that we expected in the mine plan," Teck Resources CFO Crystal Prystai informed analysts and investors on July 24. With zinc grades dropping as crews reach the last of the ore in the two pits currently being mined, Aqqaluk and Qanaiyaq, Teck went into 2025 expecting Red Dog to produce 460,000 to 510,000 metric tons (1.04 billion to 1.1 billion pounds) of zinc this year – a nearly 20% drop from the 555,600 metric tons (1.22 billion pounds) produced last year. Thanks to the strong production during the second quarter, Red Dog is on pace to come in near the

He is survived by his wife, Mona Oxford-Lyman; four children, John, Maggie, Jhordn, and Austyn; three brothers; and seven grandchildren. He was preceded in death by his par- ents and brother Bruce. A celebration of life will be held at the Crane Creek Golf and Country Club in Boise, Idaho on the morning of Sept. 27, 2025, at 11 a.m. In lieu of flowers the family suggests donations be made in Jack's name to the Idaho Golf Association Junior Golf program. Jack’s legacy is one of leadership, integ- rity, and friendship. His contributions to mining and his impact on those who knew him will not be forgotten.
ably in the Army Intelligence Corps at Fort Richardson. After his military service, Joe attended Georgetown Law School, where he met his wife, Aletha, and Senator Ernest Gruening, who became a lifelong mentor. Joe and Aletha married in 1962, with Senator Gruening giving Aletha away at the altar. They traveled Alaska cam- paigning for Gruening before settling in Fairbanks, where Joe served as a magistrate. Following the 1964 earth- quake, the family moved to Juneau, where Joe practiced law and served as City Attorney and later Commis- sioner of Administration in the Egan Administration.
1949, Jack’s career spanned engineer- ing, energy policy, and nearly three decades as Executive Vice President of the Idaho Mining Association. In that role, he worked tirelessly to pro- mote and protect mining interests, building strong relationships with industry leaders, policymakers, and partner organizations, including AMA. His collaborative spirit and ability to bridge political divides earned him respect across the West. Jack’s leadership was shaped by a background that included service as an energy advisor to Utah Governor Scott Matheson, roles in government rela- tions for natural resource companies,

AMA Volunteers at ARE Golf Tournament
Fort Knox on pace for almost half-million ounces of gold this year NORTH OF 60 MINING NEWS
AMA recently had the opportunity to support the Alaska Resource Education Coal Classic Golf Tournament. It’s always a privilege to show up at great events that help raise funds for our industry partners!
Choh reserves processed during the quarter. Another 5.53 million metric tons of Fort Knox ore averaging 0.23 g/t gold was stacked on the heap leach pad for processing during the first quarter. After distributing 30% of the gold from Manh Choh to Contango, 192,838 oz of gold was attributable to Kinross during the first half of 2025 – 95,277 oz during the first quarter and 97,561 oz during the second. While quarterly production is expect- ed to fluctuate depending on the timing of processing the batches of Manh Choh ore, the Kinross Alaska mill and heap leach pad at Fort Knox are on pace to recover more than 450,000 oz of gold this year. The third batch of Manh Choh ore is slated for processing through the Kinross Alaska mill starting in mid-September.
K inross Gold Corp. recently reported that its Fort Knox mine produced 115,064 ounces of gold during the second quarter, send- ing the Alaska mine into the second half of 2025 on pace to produce more than 450,000 oz of gold this year. This strong pace is due in large part to processing the high-grade ore from Manh Choh, a satellite mine operat- ed under a joint venture between Kinross (70%) and Contango Ore Inc. (30%). Ore trucked from Manh Choh is processed through Kinross Alaska mill at Fort Knox in batches – at a rate of about one batch per quarter. So far this year, two batches of Manh Choh ore have been processed at Fort
Knox, contributing roughly 117,000 oz of gold produced at Kinross’ Alaska operation during the first half. This accounts for more than half of the 228,264 oz of gold produced at Fort Knox over the first six months of 2025. The balance was recovered from Fort Knox ore processed through the mill and stacked on the operation’s heap leach pad. During the second quarter of 2025, the Kinross Alaska mill processed 1.63 million metric tons of ore averaging 1.72 grams per metric ton gold. The grade of the ore processed through the mill is being lifted by 7.9 g/t gold average grade of Manh
