Mining
Embedded in Alaska's history is the quest for gold, which dates back to the gold rush of the late 1800's and early 1900's. Mining grew in scope over the next 100 years, employing larger and more refined commercial enterprises. Gold mining is still occurring in Alaska, on both a small and large scale industrial operations.
