who we are
Nevada Alaska Mining Co., Inc is a mineral exploration company incorporated in the state of Nevada in November 2005. Our exploration activities include generations of prospectors. 1st generation: Glen R. Craig, prospecting CA, NV, AZ, AK (1922-2007); 2nd generation: Robert & Barbara Craig married & business partners (Bob: 1949-2021); 3rd generation: Elizabeth & Eric Dickman (Liz in exploration since childhood); 4th generation: Dickman children, perhaps they'll become the next generation of geologists, well experienced from their early years. For the last 15 years, Nevada Alaska focused primarily on lithium...staking, selling and leasing lithium properties in central Nevada including Fish Lake Valley, Borate Hills (aka Rhyolite Ridge), Clayton Valley, Sarcobatus Flat, Teels Marsh, Jackson Wash, Columbus Salt Marsh, Big Smoky Valley plus other claystone & brine projects further north and east. Claim staking ranging from Wendover & Moab, UT to San Bernardino County, CA.

Barbara Craig, President with Elizabeth Dickman, Director
Over the last several years we've optioned/sold three lithium claystone properties and one lithium brine property. And though not lithium, staked another group of claims...Santana (In/Zn/Au/AG--Nye County, NV) which is available. We also have a gold/silver target available...Poker Brown (Pershing County, NV). We're the descendants of previous generations of business men & women (mining, real estate, construction, stock market). Barbara and Elizabeth...continuing in the business endeavors of previous generations.
Our team
Barbara Craig
President and Director of Nevada Alaska Mining Co., Inc. With her late husband Bob, explored, sampled & staked numerous mineral properties throughout Nevada with an attitude of excitement for exploration and discovery. She's built thousands of claim posts and walked many hundreds of miles exploring the Nevada outback. She's repeatedly told she has a "good eye" for mineral exploration... Bob accusing her of being able to spot lithium claystone while riding 40 miles an hour along a bumpy dirt road. She and her family are looking forward to watching the development of their Columbus Salt Marsh lithium/boron (DLE) project. She has several more properties (indium, gold, silver) to actively market and sell before retirement.
Elizabeth Dickman
Secretary and Director of Nevada Alaska Mining Co., Inc. She's been involved in prospecting her entire life, pioneering lithium exploration in Nevada with her parents and proud in being a third-generation prospector. She's never shied away from physical work involved in mineral exploration...hiking, digging, sampling, hauling, hammering only to wake up the next morning and repeat those same activities again. She's looking forward to the next chapter of development in the "lithium rush" in the United States.
Eric Dickman
Treasurer and Director of Nevada Alaska Mining Co., Inc. Since 2018, actively involved in our exploration activities. Common sense, organization and a "level head" are key ingredients Eric brings to getting our exploration activities accomplished effectively. Patiently helping the next generation in learning tasks at hand in mineral exploration. King of equipment maintenance...he keeps everything mechanical running and moving forward!
robert craig p.e. & mining engineer
Robert L. Craig P.E. (1949-2021) prospected with his father in his youth. Graduated from the University of Alaska/Fairbanks 1972 - Mining Engineering. Moved to Nevada from Alaska (2005) when he and Barbara discovered they didn't need a snow shovel to survive in NV plus they could prospect year round! Exploration mainly in Nevada with Barbara for gold, silver, lithium, vanadium, copper, tungsten, graphite...
