Boulder Creek Uranium Mining Project

cancelled

The Boulder Creek project was a proposed uranium mining exploration on Alaska's Seward Peninsula by Panther Minerals. The project involved exploratory drilling over four years to search for uranium, which is essential for nuclear power and low-carbon energy. The project faced opposition from the Indigenous village of Elim due to environmental concerns. Panther Minerals decided to abandon the project due to seasonal, logistical, and capital considerations. The mining claims are still owned by Dave Hedderly-Smith, who is seeking other companies to develop the prospect.
