Large Mines Program
Large Mine Permitting
Numerous state, federal, and local government approvals are necessary to develop and operate large hardrock mines in Alaska. The State of Alaska has developed the Large Mine Permitting Team (LMPT) to coordinate the permitting process for state agencies, and when appropriate, integrate with parallel efforts by federal and local agencies. The aim of the LMPT is to provide a robust, coordinated permitting process that is predictable, consistent, and responsive to the needs of agencies, applicants, and the general public.
