@IAMAL_PHARIUS there are many prospects, mining is a big deal in alaska. the problem is the state and federal regulations that make everything expensive as fuck, plus litigation constantly getting in the way

there are proven prospects that have been held up in court for literally decades because every time one problem is cleared up the faggot ass environmentalists or "native americans" file another lawsuit to block it. mining in america generally has become a nightmare

and again, most of the state has never been meaningfully explored. there are not only no government incentives aimed at expanding the human footprint in alaska, but 2/3 of the state is owned by the feds and they actively do not want people there
