"PEBBLE MINE CHARACTERISTICS

The proposed Pebble Mine is a low grade, high-volume copper mine located on state land in the Bristol Bay Region of southwest Alaska.

It lies at a confluence of rivers that are critical to the salmon fisheries of Bristol Bay; the nearest communities are Nondalton and Illiamna/Newhalen.

The Pebble Mine’s ore contains only scattered specks and tiny veins of copper mineralization: approximately 0.34% copper, 0.023% molybdenum, and 0.01 ounces of gold per ton.9

Extracting one pound of Pebble’s copper requires pulverizing and chemically processing 294 pounds of ore.

Pebble is principally a copper deposit, with copper representing approximately 95 percent of recoverable metal by volume and 60 percent by value.

The mine also seeks to dig an open pit and underground mine to remove copper, molybdenum, and gold.10"
