Science and mines

On Southwest Oregon Mining Facts we cite or directly link to government reports, published articles, congressional testimony and other official sources so readers can assess the evidence for themselves. We seek to be a counter to the exaggerations and untruths used by the majority of mining proponents in our area.

Pebble Science: Objective scientific information on proposed mineral development in Bristol Bay, Alaska is a relatively recent website we find inspirational. We urge those opposing mines to explore Pebble Science for both scientific information, updates on the Pebble Mine proposal and as an example of the need to provide credible information about the effects of mining on the environment.
