Final Red Dog Mine State Permits
and Decision Documents Issued

Project Description

The Red Dog Mine is located in northwestern Alaska, approximately 82 miles north of Kotzebue, and 46 miles inland from the coast of the Chukchi Sea. The mine is located on the Middle Fork of Red Dog Creek in the DeLong Mountains of the western Brooks Range, in an area that is otherwise remote and undeveloped. Red Dog is a partnership between NANA and Teck Cominco Alaska. The mine is an important component of the economy of Northwest Alaska, employing approximately 450 people directly and creating an additional 150 jobs indirectly. A majority of the employees are NANA shareholders. It has been operating continuously since its opening in 1989.

Red Dog produces more than one million tons of zinc and lead concentrates annually using conventional open-pit mining, milling and flotation technologies. All concentrates are exported to world markets via the DeLong Mountain Transportation System, which connects the mine and millsite to port facilities on the Chukchi Sea.
