Electricity May Uncover Millions In Alaskan Gold
Anchorage reports that using electricity generated from coal slack in Healy mine subbituminous fields could unlock an estimated 200 million dollars in placer gold in the Tanana valley near Fairbanks and Chatanika. Prof Charles E Bunnell leads the investigation with support from the Fairbanks College of Mines. Electricity would be transmitted about 110 miles to Fairbanks and spread over fifty square miles, offering a solution to costly shallow-ground methods and hazards in hydraulic, dredge, and shaft operations.
