Box 113108 Anchorage, AK 99511 Jerry Birch or Kevin Greenfield 907-349-4644 Taiga Mining Com- pany is a placer mine in interior Alaska beginning its 33rd season. The long-term success of the Alaska Miners As- sociation is integral to the long-term success of the mining industry in Alaska. Current day mining regula- tions are complicated and constantly changing, and it would be difficult for one operation alone to address the regulatory challenges that impact them specif- ically. This is especially true for placer miners who generally do not have the budget to employ per- sonnel to specifically track regulatory changes being proposed that could severely impact their business. Having the voice of the Alaska Miners Association is what allows us to stay informed and have a voice in the regulatory process.
