Terra Piniun President Corri Feige
Alaska Energy Metals Corp. May 2 announced the appointment of former Alaska Department of Natural Resources Commissioner Corri Feige to its board of directors.
“We are really pleased to have Corri join our company! She has great energy, vision, and leadership skills, but, most importantly, she has boundless enthusiasm for resource-centered economic development in Alaska. Her enthusiasm is infectious!” said Alaska Energy Metal’s President and CEO Gregory Beischer.
Formerly known as Millrock Resources Inc., Alaska Energy Metals is focused on the exploration and development of a large nickel-copper-cobalt-chrome-iron-platinum group metals deposit on its Nikolai project near the paved Richardson Highway about a 2.5-hour drive south of the city of Fairbanks, Alaska.
More information on Millrock’s transition to Alaska Energy Metals and the Nicolai project can be read at Alaska Energy Metals makes its debut in the March 3, 2023 edition of North of 60 Mining News.
“The potential of the Nikolai nickel-copper-cobalt-platinum group element project is tremendous and stands as a great example of Alaska’s critical mineral endowment,” said Feige. “With nickel and cobalt demand estimated to increase by 1,900% and 4,000% respectively over the next 15 years, Nikolai, and projects like it, will be on the leading edge of meeting the mineral demands of electrification and new energy storage technologies for years to come.”
Feige is currently the president of Terra Piniun, an Anchorage-based consulting firm that specializes in communications, regulatory issues, permitting, land use, and project planning related to resource development in Alaska.
“With many connections in the Alaska resource, finance, and government communities, we look forward to Ms. Feige having a positive impact on our newly relaunched company,” Beischer added.
Feige is a geophysical engineer with a Bachelor of Science degree from the Montana School of Mines.
