Regarding our Alaska Mining Day coverage and comment last Friday, we received this thoughtful note from reader, Paul Richards.          -dh

Cathy Giesses, Alaska Mining Day, AMA, Alaska Miners Association, Photo by Dave Harbour"Dave, Thanks for the recognition of Alaska Mining Day and the appropriate Celebration shared by those who went to the Special Breakfast and who recognized Senator Cathy Giessel’s (NGP photo) Mining Day bill that was recently signed by the Governor….  

Mining is a major part of Alaska’s history that brought major exploration and jobs to the State and along with the men and women who stayed to make Alaska a success.  Do you remember our Fairbanks University was originally established in 1917 as Alaska Agricultural College and School of Mines?

Thanks for all you do in getting the word out about Oil, Gas, Mining, and other job created industries.

Ziff Energy and Gas Processing Management announce the start of a 190+ page North Montney and Shale Gas Growth Resource and Infrastructure Study analyzing the area from west of Fort St. John to the Yukon and Northwest Territories including the Horn River, Liard, and Cordova Shale Gas Basins; forecasting gas and liquids to 2023 with the gas potentially being an important feedstock for Western Canada LNG Development.

The Study assesses the impact that the developing production will have on 30 sweet and sour gas processing plants including: Cabin, Caribou, Chinchaga, Farrell Creek, Fort Nelson, Jedney, Rainbow, Sierra, Wildboy, and Zama.
