Alaska Energy Metals Corporation, stated the purpose is provide safe, reliable, and logistically sustainable access to a mineral exploration area for a Critical mineral to collect subsurface geological data to evaluate the mineral resource potential. PROPOSED WORK: The project would begin with rehabilitation of an existing 17-mile gravel road known as the Rainy Creek Mining Road. In addition to the rehabilitation of the existing road, the project would involve the construction of 6 miles of new temporary gravel access road, averaging 13 feet wide toe-to-toe, to access the exploration site from the west end of the Rainy Creek Mining Road. To maintain hydrologic connectivity, low water crossings would be installed at surface water crossings. The new road would disturb approximately 0.14 acres of wetland. Gravel would be sourced from uplands. Drilling must commence where the Nickel resource is located. The mineral exploration requires construction of temporary facilities, including a 15-acre pad for a man camp, staging and parking areas, and seasonal equipment laydown. All work would be performed in accordance with the enclosed plan (sheets #1-23), dated January 2026.
