Introduction
Thank you for your interest in Manh Choh! Kinross is the majority owner and operator of this joint venture with Contango ORE. We’re excited to introduce you to Alaska’s sixth large metal mine, which is truly a direct partnership with the native Village of Tetlin. The project is on land leased from the native village of Tetlin. Mining began in late 2003, with first gold in July 2004. As we have from the beginning, we are continuing to work and engage with the people of Tetlin as well as the surrounding communities, including those located along the road corridor to our Fort Knox mine in Fairbanks.
This mine brings great benefits for the state, especially for Interior Alaska. Manh Choh creates 400-600 well-paying, year-round jobs and new opportunities with local business use. The mine is expected to produce for 4 to 5 years.
