Todd Dahlman, a 40-year mining veteran who recently served as deputy general manager at Kinross Gold's Fort Knox mine, has been tapped as the new general manager for the world-class Donlin Gold project in Southwest Alaska. Being advanced toward a production decision by Donlin Gold LLC, this enormous mine project hosts 504.81 million metric tons of proven and probable reserves averaging 2.09 grams per metric ton (33.9 million oz) gold. A feasibility study completed in 2011 detailed plans for a mine at Donlin that would produce more than 1 million oz of gold annually over an initial 25 years of mining. Dahlman joins Donlin Gold as it carries out a roughly 15,000-meter infill drill program that is expected to help upgrade resources that can then be converted to reserves when the joint venture is ready to update the 14-yearold feasibility study. Updates to the feasibility study ahead of a mine development decision for Donlin have been delayed due in part to legal challenges to previously issued permits for developing the proposed mine and a natural gas pipeline to the project. Donlin Gold continues to support the state and federal agencies as they defend their permits. Dahlman brings a proven track record in operational excellence, team leadership, and community engagement to Donlin Gold as it positions to develop a world-class mine. Since beginning his mining career in his hometown of Butte, Mont., in 1986, Dahlman has contributed to startup and producing mining operations across the United States, Canada, Indonesia, Malaysia, Kazakhstan, Mauritania, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. "Todd brings exceptional expertise and a dynamic approach that we believe will complement the project's stage of development and advancement. His leadership marks an exciting new chapter, and we look forward to continued collaboration and success on the Donlin Gold project," said Donlin Gold Chairman Greg Lang. — Shane Lasley, North of 60 Mining News The Alaska Miner Spring 2025 16 Todd Dahlman joins Donlin Gold Project Photo Courtesy Donlin Gold
