A TRADITION OF MINING EXCELLENCE

Shared Values, Common Goals, Exceptional Results

The Red Dog Mine provides the economic backbone for Kotzebue and the 11 villages that make up the Northwest Arctic Borough.

Red Dog provides 60 percent of the funding for the Borough. These mine dollars, which now total more than $64 million, build new schools, and provide essential services to area residents.

Red Dog buys locally when possible, spending $178.6 million with Alaska businesses in 2006.

Red Dog is a major taxpayer, sending a check for $123 million to the state in 2006.

And it pays NANA a dividend that has totaled $177 million through 2006. NANA then shares 62 percent of its payment with Native corporations throughout Alaska.

Red Dog proves it's possible for a Native corporation to respect the land and our traditional culture while developing our natural resources.
