Alaska's Mineral Industry

Fort Knox Mine

For many years, the Division of Geological & Geophysical Surveys has published an annual summary of mineral activity each winter followed by an annual report of mineral activity later in the year. Those available in electronic format are listed here. For older reports, please refer to the publications list for Alaska. Photo: Overview of Fort Knox Mine looking south by southeast. The open pit gold mine is seen in the background, with the low-grade ore stockpile and conveyor in the foreground. Photo provided by Fairbanks Gold Mining Co.
