The Alaska Miner Summer 2024 8 Manh Choh celebrates its first gold pour Photos Courtesy Kinross Alaska The first gold from Manh Choh has been poured, an accomplishment that brought together Alaskans in July for a celebration. The 37.5-pound bar, valued at $1.4 million, is stamped with an eagle crest, the symbol of the Tetlin Village. The celebration was filled with gratitude for all the hard work that went into the Manh Choh project, spanning 16 years. Many of the project's original geologists and exploration team were present and they reflected fondly on their work leading up to this milestone. The entire Tetlin Village Council, along with Lt. Governor Nancy Dahlstrom, interior legislators, and business and industry partners were on hand to celebrate the milestone. Congratulations to everyone who made this a reality!
