Fairhaven Project

The Fairhaven Project is a regional reconnaissance mapping and sampling program that seeks to tie together the historic Placer operations in the area to identity prospective areas for continued exploration efforts. Soil sampling methodologies were adapted to account for the presence of permafrost. Field crews worked at 4 distinct, but proximally located, historically active placer gold mining areas. Geologic mapping and soil sampling was conducted along with prospect examinations

Groundhog

Chuchuna Minerals

Chuchuna Mineral’s Groundhog property lies immediately northeast of the Pebble deposit in southwest Alaska near the town of Nondalton. Alaska Earth Sciences (AES) continues to carry out all the project management and technical staff for geologic and baseline study field programs as well as actively engaging the community through regular informational meetings and providing opportunities for local employment. In 2017, Alaska Earth Sciences completed the first drill holes on the property with significant personnel support from the nearby community
