Mining’s Rich Alaskan History
Mining in Alaska has been going on for some time. Gold mining traces all the way back to the late 1800s. This tradition has done little to slow down. Even in 2015, $1.01 billion of gold was mined in Alaska, which accommodated for 37 percent of the total mining assets in the state for that year. Other mining operations throughout the state include other metals such as silver, zinc, and lead. In 2012, five main mines throughout the state produced 34 million tons of ore.

Mining and Drill Rig Support
FairLifts can arrange a helicopter to help you with drill and mining rig support. A helicopter’s lifting ability takes some of the effort out of this and can help with difficult to reach locations. A helicopter’s ability to hover proves vital as it can accurately help with rig support.
Mineral Exploration and Mapping
Mapping out a mine is a costly and dangerous endeavor. Often times it is time consuming and poses risks for a ground crew. Having a helicopter assist in this matter can ensure safety and save on time and manpower.
Mine Rehabilitation and Reseeding
Helicopters help mining efforts by doing little to disturb the land around them. If you are looking to be environmentally conscious a helicopter is your best asset. In addition, helicopters can prove vital in helping with reseeding the land after the fact.
Personnel Transportation
Depending on the exact location of the mine, transportation is not always easy. This is why a helicopter can help by transporting workers to difficult to reach locations. The best part? It is quicker than if they would arrive on the ground.
