Tribal, Native groups say “no way” to Pebble mine

Our client joined other organizations from the Bristol Bay region in Telling First Quantum Minerals that it

  • opposes the proposed Pebble mine;
  • it is disappointed in the company’s funding agreement for the proposed project;
  • a massive gold and copper mine does not belong on top of a watershed that sustains a fisheries-based economy and way-of-life, along with the largest wild sockeye salmon run in the world;
  • and that the EPA’s own report, substantiated by science, concludes that a mine would have “unacceptable adverse impacts” on the fish populations and streams that feed and provide jobs to the people of Bristol Bay.
Read the full letter.
