have been associated with making Alaska and the nation what they are today. The construction of the Trans Alaska Pipeline (three years and two months) and the 700,000 workers it benefitted. Still in operation almost 44 years and providing employment for approximately 1,300 employees. Prudhoe Bay was expected to have a 30-year lifespan and today has lasted more than 40 years with potential for another 40 years. The Fort Knox Mine original life of the mine was set at 10-12 years — it is still in operation over 24 years and employs close to 700 workers. Red Dog Mine, Greens Creek, Pogo Gold Mine and Kensington Gold Mine are just part of the list of projects that have prospered beyond their estimated life span. I personally have celebrated 20- and 30-year work anniversaries for colleagues in Alaska and their many contributions to the mining industry and Alaska. There is nothing wrong with receiving a paycheck for 20 years — view it as a steppingstone to the next 20.
