The Unuk River runs from British Columbia to Southeast Alaska; adjacent to the Misty Fjords National Monument near Ketchikan, Alaska. One of southern Alaska’s largest rivers in the Ketchikan area, it produces more King Salmon than any stream in the region.
A company called Seabridge Gold is pursuing the permitting of a large open pit mine 400 times bigger than the Kensington Mine. This proposed mine, Kerr-Sulphurets-Mitchell, would dump 2.1 Billion Tons of toxic mine and acid waste in the Unuk and Nass River watersheds.
