Power Consulting Inc. of Missoula Montana completed a comparison study of the likely impacts to residents of the Chilkat Valley, should the Palmer Project (copper/zinc mine) move forward into production.
ACWA successfully nominated the Chilkat/Klehini river system to the Most Endangered River in America list for 2023. These unique, productive rivers, and the entire Chilkat Valley are under threat from proposed mining operations.
For more than a decade, Constantine Metals Resources (CMR) has played a public relations game with the communities of Haines and Klukwan, posing as a caring, controlling interest in the proposed copper-zinc mine known as the Palmer Project. The goal was to convince us that the company’s concern for the Chilkat River Watershed and our rivers, fish, eagles, and our way of life would guide the development of the mine and protect everyone’s interests into the distant future.
