In August, roughly 100 fish turned up dead in a creek below the large Kensington gold mine north of Juneau. Seven months later, state regulators and Coeur Mining, the multinational company that owns and operates the mine, still haven’t determined what killed them. Samples taken from mine wastewater and Sherman Creek, where the dead fish were found, showed no obvious signs of pollution.
