INNOVATION
“THE KNAUF METHODOLOGY”
As Dr. Michael Smith the professional 50 year economic geologist veteran said.
Before moving forward with our mining innovation details, you must first understand that Mr. Knauf has innovated many technologies and this specific innovation is called “THE KNAUF METHODOLOGY” which is the only current innovation that we will discuss in this website at this time, in fact this technology is so powerful that the State of Alaska has tried everything in their power to prevent this innovation from becoming available and worked in the State of Alaska. The State of Alaska has gone as far as taking Mr. Knauf’s innovation equipment from his mining claims which is valued at $3.5 million dollars ($750,000 which was donated from Apple, Inc.) to construct with it’s relevant claims to operate the equipment, not including Mr. Knauf’s and his partners sweat equity and time. This innovation oppression has been motivated by desire to support only large open pit mining which can afford to buy political capital and not focus on new innovation which renders open pit obsolete. Corruption on every level from Government, to DNR, down to State building offices in Alaska. The corruption has been running so deep for the past 10 years that this special website was needed to educate and share the facts.
To better understand… we will walk you through this very delicate process.
WHY THE MINING INDUSTRY?
How a 40 minute conversation changed and ignited a deep interest that catapulted Mr. Knauf to investigate the massive mining industry to better understand why Alaskans shared such deep distrust due to generational toxic wastes when the mining ends, destroying the Alaskan environment and polluting traditional cultures.
That very conversation happened in Seward, Alaska during the yearly Mount Marathon Race at the Pebble Mine sponsorship booth, where Jeffrey was walking by and chatting with the attendant, at the same time a native who was a big game guide shared his deep dislike for the Pebble Mine and sharing how they could destroy our land. The two began to speak and that conversation sparked a major interest of understanding. The next day Jeffrey began his intensive research. Part of his research also involved having deep conversations with Andrew W. Miscovich Sr. in Fairbanks, who gave Jeffrey the greatest homework of his research, that homework is what catapult Jeffreys scientific methodology. About two years later Jeffrey innovated his new mining technology.
A NEW MINING TECHNOLOGY IS BORN
No doubt about it Mr. Knauf founded, developed and proved a new mining technology that is no doubt ahead of any modern technology imaginable. Mr. Knauf is not only passionate about his mining invention and innovation technology, he is even more passionate that his innovation is preserving nature, cultures, flora, fauna, completely minimizing water and air pollution. An overall environmentally friendly and safe technology where the people and mining companies can simultaneously win. In 10 Years of continuous operation on its test bed in a public setting, not one negative environmental downside was noted. This is a function of what new technology can do to solve the generational pollution left behind from traditional mining practices.
THIS IS WHY THE KNAUF METHODOLOGY MINING TECHNOLOGY IS IMPORTANT
*** The two images above depict two very different mining processes that deliver the same gold. ***
*** However, the KNAUF METHODOLOGY will also deliver Platinum and Rare Earths! ***
The image above, to the (left) demonstrates traditional mining, and the image to the (right) is the KNAUF METHODOLOGY. It is important to note that structurally the two are vastly different and more importantly you can achieve the same level of production without any of the surface disturbance or environmental damages. The KNAUF METHODOLOGY does not require any longterm mitigation and can be used for environmental cleanup, we can clean up mercury or heavy metals contamination, we can clean it up.
A PARADIGM SHIFT IN MINING
We do not fully understand the relationship between the state and the potential massive open pit mines and current permit processes. And it is unfortunate that the state of Alaska cannot envision two operations vastly different being utilized at the same time. We have understood from retired State employees that there may be a serious conflict regarding the efficiently of our technology and the ability for large open mine operations to get their permits subject to a National Environmental Policy Act comparative analysis of known technologies.
We do understand that for every community that needs these elements we have a solution that every community can agree is lowering cost, delivers the same product, has no generational toxicity, massively profitable and it is still mining today.
If you examine the costs associated with machinery, drilling, fuel, engineering, equipment, labor, political payoffs, production facility, chemistry, tailing dams, and longterm environmental mitigation, the KNAUF METHODOLOGY does not require any of the above. We are often times referred to by state and federal regulators as the people that clean the water and that is a great problem to have.
Upon examination, the State of Alaska has already concluded we are not required to have permits due the technology efficiencies and cleanliness of our operation. We fall in the generally allowed uses and other technology, not placer, lode or dredging.
Regrettably, our mining facility depicted in the images above was destroyed by the State of Alaska on an active mining claim, fully and legally permitted. Apparently, due to the technical superiority, the State did not care what laws they broke, what regulations they went around and the constitutional rights per the development of natural resources which is enshrined in our State constitution.
*** The purpose of this site in it’s fundraising necessity is to inform the public that proven technologies exist, can be easily implemented and at present we are working to rebuild this mining site and our mining equipment that was purposely destroyed and hidden. ***
