  • Key contracts awarded to local businesses include drilling, camp services and maintenance, aviation, expediting and supply of fuel and other consumables. 
• U.S. GoldMining's commitment to supporting local community causes and events is exemplified by donations in excess of US$60,000 over the past year to, among others, local Alaskan non-government organizations and to support sporting and community events.
