It is the first stage in developing a lead-zinc-silver mine that is expected to have a life of 50 years and will eventually become the largest source of zine in the western world, Hallbauer said. The project will begin in the spring with the construction of an 83-kilometre road by the Alaska Industrial Development Authority from the port site to the mine. The port is 1,000 kilometres northwest of Anchorage and 11 kilometres north of Kotzebue. A barge dock and staging area at the port site were completed in September to facilitate start of the road contract. Hallbauer said developmeat of the mine site will in as soon as the road access is available. About half the concentrates will go to Trail for further processing and the remainder will be distributed between smelters in the Far East and Europe. Cominco flew a number of executives and state representatives to the port site in July for a ground breaking ceremony although at the time its board of directors had not yet approved development of the mine. Red Dog is the first major hardrock mine to be developed in Alaska since the 1930s, about the time Cominco was opening up the Con gold mine near Yellow. knife.
