Copper and molybdenum mostly, with the hope that there will also be some gold. If it turns out that there is enough of a resource here to warrant a mine, it could easily take 10-20 yrs of additional exploration(mostly drilling), planning, permitting and engineering and at least $US2-3 billion expenditure before the first bar is poured. It's on state land and Alaska is very friendly towards resource development, but the "antis" have been gaining ground for decades and will stop short of nothing to prevent a mine, regardless of where it is, and despite the fact that it's guys like me that go out and find the 'stuff' that everything they own that can't be grown is made of. Unfortunate fact of life.

Fascinating stuff!...except for the part about the anti-(everything) folks.
