Summary
Mining’s brewing on the BC-Alaska border, with Eskay Creek poised to launch soon—permits secured, First Nation deal done. Galore Creek and Schaft Creek loom next, plus smaller, riskier plays.

Indigenous communities on both sides are watching closely as transboundary pollution remains a tangled, unresolved crisis. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
