Developers at the proposed Donlin Creek Gold Mine announced there’s even more gold on site. Donlin Creek is located about 200 miles up the Kuskokwim River from Bethel. It was already touted as one of the largest undeveloped gold resources in the world, but the new estimate expands on previous claims by 77%.

    Mine development at donlin creek is a great oppertunity for the bethel region. It will supply many good paying jobs and pump alot of money into the support sector. It also may help bethel get on the power grid hopefully and get off diesel generation of power.Good luck to nova and bareck on this project.
