Alaska's Mineral Industry 1996

Abstract

This report summarizes activity in the Alaskan mineral industry during the 1996 calendar year, and is made possible by information provided on mineral questionnaires returned to the Division of Geological & Geophysical Surveys. As in past years this is a cooperative venture between the Division of Geological & Geophysical Surveys (DGGS) and the Division of Mining & Water Management (DMWM) in the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) and the Division of Trade & Development (DTD) in the Department of Commerce & Economic Development (DCED). The year 1996 saw increases in all three mine-related categories: exploration increased 30 percent over the 1995 value to $44.6 million, development was up 165 percent to $394.0 million, and production increased 10 percent to $590.4 million. For the first time the cumulative value of the Alaska mineral industry, as measured by the sum of exploration and development expenditures and the value of production, exceeded $1 billion.
