Just because you’re crew is living hundreds of miles from civilization doesn’t mean they have to be roughing it!

Who We Are…

Mike Smith has been in the mining industry since 1973, working for major mineral exploration companies such as Anaconda, Boyles Brothers and Layne-Christiansen. He started in Alaska working as a drilling coordinator. Soon after, Mike was tasked with the responsibility of designing, building and running a 60-man camp. While putting in camps for mineral exploration projects, Mike saw a real need for the industry that wasn’t being met for temporary soft sided camps within the state of Alaska. In 1985, Mike started Alaska Minerals and with his expertise, has developed it into the premiere remote camp service business it is today.
