Breaking news... Undercover Hong Kong ‘investors’ dupe Pebble Mine execs, share private meetings describing political influence, vision for 180-year mine By Grant Robinson Published: Sep. 22, 2020 at 4:17 PM AKDT Updated: 4 hours ago ANCHORAGE, Alaska (KTUU) - Two men posing as high-level officials at a Hong Kong based investment group secretly recorded meetings with top executives of Pebble Mine, showing the company’s top leaders flaunting their political influence and their vision and intent to grow a much larger mine that could be developed for hundreds of years, among other details not previously publicly disclosed. The recordings, dubbed the “Pebble Tapes,” were published by the Environmental Investigation Agency, an international nongovernmental organization with offices in London and Washington, D.C. The Pebble Partnership says the men claimed to be senior officials with the Wan Yuan Group in Hong Kong, a subsidiary of Beijing Capital Group, which Pebble describes as “a very large conglomerate and State-Owned Enterprise (SOE) under the Beijing municipal government.” One was a native Mandarin speaker, and the other was a Frenchman who said he represented the Wan Yuan Group’s investments in timber assets in French-speaking Africa, according to Pebble. “Both gentlemen demonstrated a sophisticated understanding of international business, capital finance and natural resources investment. They both received and promised to return signed Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs) by early this week – and had given verbal agreement to the NDA’s prior to the conversations about Pebble,” a Pebble spokesperson said. “We have not heard from either of them since the story broke, nor do we expect to.” The meetings included video calls and phone calls with Pebble Limited Partnership CEO Tom Collier, and Ronald Thiessen, CEO of Pebble’s parent company Northern Dynasty Minerals. The environmental group says it has been following the proposed Pebble Mine for years. It says the meetings took place on four dates from Aug. 17 through last Sunday.
