Nature positive gold brings salmon nutrients back into Yukon, BC and Alaskan wilderness

The place of salmon in the ecosystems of the Pacific Northwest, and across Alaska and Canada is integral to their health. Salmon bring nutrients from their deep sea foraging and provide an essential food source for bears, eagles and the people across the region. Bringing salmon back depends on catchment repair, hatcheries and fishing regulations. Miners also have a part to play, in rehabilitating mine sites impacting the iconic fish. Salmon Gold demonstrates that streamside rehabilitation can be financed. Salmon Gold is in Apple’s technology products and Tiffany & Co.’s jewelry because they were willing to take a risk on the question: Is it possible to couple re-mining of tailings with stream restoration, in partnership with miners, to produce gold and improve habitat for fish species in Alaska, the Yukon, and BC? The answer is yes

Imagine the possibilities in gold, silver and bronze (copper +tin etc) from retired mine sites across Australia…
