At an annual mining conference in Vancouver, British Columbia, opponents of the Palmer Project, led by the Chilkat Indian Village, expressed their opposition to mineral exploration efforts near Haines. Vizsla Copper, which acquired the project in November, aims to gain community approval and has received support from Alaska Governor Mike Dunleavy. The company plans significant exploration activities this summer, including diamond drilling and a marketing campaign, while local leaders emphasize the lack of social licensing for the project.
