Alaska Gold Mine

[Borat911]

It's really sad !!! Those local people are just fucked by those companies ...  The hunt for money and profit is destroying our earth ... and there's nothing we can do about it !!!

[sayrocknoanime]

@Borat911 Lenin did not give up and he saved a country to make it good.

[MachadoLusitano]

Go ahead and destroy our last remaining natural resources you fckg bastards, it's not you that will suffer from it... it's your children and grandchildren, so fckem right?!

[biomansoil]

who are these little people to have a say in this. how dare they! everyone knows that the only vote that counts is big business. just look at out Govt today, if it has nothing to do with waste overspending and self indulgence than its just not good for anyone. rich people always prosper, thats a fact of life, screw the little guy.

[GotBait]

Murkowski stole the election from a dork. So stand dwn anti miners. The free money shall continue to flow. Dohhhhhhh whats that I hear? Murkowskis pork got trimmed?!?!?! Boo Hoo so sad.

[6970Usermik]

do NOT let them mine! we're called "America's Last Frontier" for reasons NOT including a big hole in the ground that kills off our native culture for the over weight wallots the big corporations already have

[mrfish40]

companys only interest is in their own profits! plain and simple! 1700 feet deep! like a big french drain! sucking all the water out of the shed and into the hole! They will trash the eco system for their own profit! been shown time and time again!

[6970Usermik]

@mrfish40 i agree, im a native and i am totally anti-pebble. this is basic math here: a big fat dividend for the destruction of a renewable resource that sustained a few cultures doesn't add up to a decent number too so...

[tapo1800]

i hate how alaska works! natives who need salmon to live vs people who go to alaska to make money off salmon. there r some rivers you cant fish because theres to few salmon making it upstream. however u have people that catch 17k pounds, not to live but to make money. shows how much the rest of the USA cares.

[6970Usermik]

@tapo1800 i agree, especially when the last thing we need is the salmon disappearing altogether

[GODDAMEFAGS]

You guys would rather people die in far off country's then fix are problems here what smart ass fucks gold right under are noses in Alaska and in Alberta.

[piecartbox]

Lol cyanide may be toxic but it is not a persistent threat. Most of the Superfund mining sites and toxic metals come from the minierlized ore and overburden that needs to be moved and so exposed.

Cyanide is just CN, one carbon and one nitrogen. People afraid of cyanide as a persistent threat like DDT are the same kind afraid of di-Hydrogen Monoxide.

[6970Usermik]

@piecartbox if it's not all that bad as you say it is, try drink it yourself and see how you feel !

[ronniemilang]

its coool if u can see some gold,,,alaska has plenty of gold,,,gold come from volcanoes,,they erupt,,,so hot,and flash away by rains,and got into rivers and crreks,,,like rabbit creeks,,gold panning.gold motherlaod,etc,,,i have gold from alaska just try to dig,,u can find so many nuggets on it,,

[ronniemilang]

gold come from volcanoes,,,they erupt,,,and flask away by rains and got into rivers and creeks,,gold nuggets gold motherload gold panning etc,,,i have gold from alaska,,,just try to dig

[3lessyaya]

Why do they have to use chemicals? why don't they use pick axes like the olden' days.

[1quebec1frnc1]

its much faster that way instead of using shovels and other stuff but it would be MUCH better for the environment...

[6970Usermik]

@1quebec1frnc1 "better for the environment"? try drink the junk they leave us natives with and see how you feel after that!

[camomule]

ABSOLUTELY NOT! Did you hear all the b.s. that sounded just like BUSH? "We'll work to MINIMIZE THE RISK" and then poison the ground water too. It's all a CROCK! If you want gold, go buy it like anyone else who wants it. Far as me? I can't own gold. I can't afford it!

[xxMortanisxx]

Gold is used in more than just jewelry. For example, the computer you used to type your message uses gold in its circuits. I don't like the plan to put a mine in Alaska, but because it could destroy yet another entire culture.

[GODDAMEFAGS]

what bush is more like lets invade foreign country's Obamas like lets pollute the ground and build oil pipelines and shit.

[BadBloodHank]

what the fuck man,leave Alaska alone!

[fredbatmt]

Points taken.

One question though: how many of you don't wear or use gold?

[GibsonTriniLopez]

What part of "***LAST*** frontier" do they not understand? Greed always conquers peoples need to survive. I just don't think Alaska should sell out to a mining company, especially a Canadian company; let them work out their own gold and diamonds; they have plenty. If they ruin the Bristol Bay fishery, it will never be the same; the whole eco-system will die, beginning with the rivers. This is just sooooo not worth it. Say NO Alaska!

[mrpascalfortier]

No minerals no technology and no computers, The compagny will spend millions just to elaborate the plans to contains the waste materials. You can be assure that thousands of people will be on the watch. You have to measure the two sides, with all these minerals you can facilate the lives of millions of people around the world. Mining is international, most mining in Canada is exported around the world. A large part to the USA and emerging countries which in turn provide us with goods we demand.

[highron]

NO MINES

[metallogeny]

NewsFlash! You can have both. In fact, life has proven that you must have both. Understand the fearfullness of some locals, what with all the outside propoganda, however, they cannot live without the minerals either. How will they catch their fish without metals? Back to the Stone Age?

[ropermonkey]

so uh....what happens in 50-60 years when this thing is done and over with if it happens?

[JackNeedles]

Why does man have to screw every damn thing nature provides for us? Just leave it alone. I don't want to be eating toxic fish. Alaska is one of the very few places on earth where you can get clean fish from. Lets keep it that way for both the humans and animals that live off of it.

[0001367]

Man does so because he can unfortunately.

[jnnycliff]

I'm strongly disagree with those mining companies try to kill million of life.

[BitzASuga]

did u not watch planet Earth? Why screw up another beautiful place on this planet!
