Did You Know?
Pilots and geologists first noticed mineral staining here in 1953. In 1970 the U.S. Geological Survey named Red Dog Creek after Red Dog, the company of longtime pilot and miner Bob Baker. Baker's rusty red dog often flew with him around northwest Alaska. Mining began in December 1989, and Red Dog is now the world's largest zinc concentrate mine. The Red Dog lands were chosen by NANA, the regional Native corporation, in 1980. Most of the workers are Inupiaq shareholders of NANA. That's from the State of Alaska community database.
