AHEA A20113111 - A Hardrock Exploration Permit Application in the Bristol Bay Mining District - Pebble Limited

The Alaska Department of Natural Resources (DNR) has received a Multi-Agency
(State and Federal) application for Hardrock Exploration in the Bristol Bay
Mining District in the Southcentral Region. The exploration activity is located
within Township 5S, Range 37, Seward Meridian. The USGS 1:250,000 Quadrangle is
Iliamna C-7. DNR authorizations include Water Use Permits, Miscellaneous Land
Use Permits, Approved Plan of Operations, and Reclamation Plan of Approval for
a Mining Operation.

The Mining Section of the Division of Mining, Land and Water proposes to issue
a Miscellaneous Land Use Permit pursuant to 11 AAC 96.010 for mining and/or
exploration activity on state mining claims as well as reclamation approval on
state or private lands. Winter cross country travel on state lands not within
state mining claims may also be authorized.

A Water Right or a Temporary Water Use Permit may be issued and state land use
beyond the mining claims will be adjudicated by DNR.

A copy of the application may be obtained from DNR. For applications within the
Southcentral or Southeast Regions, contact Linda Books by phone (907) 269-8647,
