Mine developers and the leaders of Alaska’s development bank plan to spend nearly $60 million on Ambler Road and prospects this year.
The Kogoluktuk River flows past the Arctic deposit on July 24, 2021, about 20 miles north of Kobuk. The Kogoluktuk flows into the Kobuk river a few miles upriver from the community of Kobuk.
The state agency is now pushing for a final investment decision on the 211-mile Ambler Road in 2024 after nearly a decade of studying and debating the industrial access route, according to board chair Dana Pruhs. The work will provide a range of jobs for nearly 50 local residents, according to AIDEA. Much of the work will build on the field studies and permitting work done last year, Pruhs said when the budget was approved.Officials with AIDEA and Gov.
AIDEA leaders insist use of the road will be actively monitored and restricted to mining traffic only, with exceptions for local uses.They are modeling their plan for an industrial toll road after the 52-mile haul road to the Red Dog zinc mine in Northwest Alaska that the authority financed in the late 1980s and has successfully generated toll revenue for decades.Other opposition stems from skepticism the road will pencil out for the state.
While there are more than a dozen early-stage prospects in the Ambler district, only the Arctic and Bornite deposits being worked by Ambler Metals have been drilled extensively.
