Teller pressed Graphite One on subsistence risks at the Graphite Creek mine

Teller residents pressed Graphite One on subsistence risks from the proposed Graphite Creek mine at a June 2026 meeting, raising concerns about caribou, fish, and marine mammal impacts. • Community members questioned spill response plans, dust and traffic in harvesting areas, and how the company would enforce hiring and revenue commitments rather than merely promise them. • The company met privately with Native entities before the public meeting, a sequencing that drew scrutiny from attendees.
