BSNC is one of the primary landholders in the Bering Straits/Seward Peninsula/Norton Sound region. For centuries the land has provided a livelihood for the residents of the region and subsistence continues to be a central activity in the lives of our shareholders.

Long known for its mineral potential this region has been successfully mined in the past and continues to offer development and mining opportunities. BSNC strives to enhance the economic opportunities in the Bering Straits region, while managing its lands for the future use and benefit to BSNC shareholders and their descendants.

BSNC’s land entitlement under ANCSA accounts for more than 2.1 million acres of surface and subsurface estate located throughout the region. In most cases, BSNC owns the subsurface estate underlying the surface estate owned by the village corporations. In other areas of the region, BSNC owns the surface and subsurface estate to large tracts selected because of the natural resources located there, as well as smaller tracts selected as historic and cemetery sites.

BSNC looks forward to a successful future in mineral exploration and development on these lands. For the past 30 years BSNC has focused on mineral exploration and mine development, and will continue to pursue ventures and partnerships that benefit the region and our shareholders. We also encourage investment in tourism on Native and public lands and the development of local infrastructure which will enhance the economic health of the region.
