Graphite One (Alaska) Inc. is exploring the feasibility of a large flake graphite mine in the Graphite Creek prospect, located on the Seward Peninsula in western Alaska, approximately 38 miles north of the city of Nome. Owl Ridge aquatic biologists established long-term biomonitoring sites and conducted aerial adult salmon spawning surveys within the potential mine site area, access corridors, and surrounding areas as reference sites. Data is used for project environmental compliance and monitoring, permitting, and engineering design.
