John Shively, chief executive of the Pebble Partnership, says the partnership has spent $90 million on environmental and socio-economic studies in and around the project site since 2004.
Shively says the data will be released in installments over the next 20 months.
The data, he says, will be released prior to project permitting. He says it will be released with little or no analysis.
The Pebble project is a huge copper and gold prospect near Iliamna in the Bristol Bay watershed. Proponents say it will bring jobs and economic prosperity, while opponents say it could ruin the area's wild salmon fisheries.
The report is available online at www.pebble partnership.com.
