Red Dog life extension gains FAST-41 coverage for development of high-grade zinc-lead resources

The U.S. Permitting Council granted FAST-41 coverage to the Red Dog Mine Life Extension Project in northwest Alaska. The project proposes underground long-hole stoping at the Aktigiruq and Anarraaq deposits, with ore to be processed through Red Dog’s existing mill and is intended to extend Red Dog operations by approximately 14 years. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers will lead the federal permitting review.

Teck reports 42.2 Mt of indicated resources grading 15.8% Zn and 18.8 Mt of inferred resources grading 11.8% Zn at Aktigiruq, alongside 17.0 Mt of inferred resources grading 14.0% Zn at Anarraaq. Both deposits also contain lead, silver and germanium. FAST-41 coverage supports a coordinated and transparent permitting process; it does not constitute final permitting approval or commercial production.
