This report documents the state of the Placer Mining Industry in the Yukon Territory for the 1991 and 1992 mining seasons. The majority of this volume consists of detailed descriptions of placer operations visited by the staff of the Placer Mining Section of the Mineral Development Division, Northern Affairs Program, Yukon Region. Also included is information that may be useful to readers who are interested in searching for and developing placer properties in the Yukon Territory.

This report documents the placer mining industry in the Yukon from 1998 to 2002. The information is presented in three sections. The first section contains an overall view of staking activity, placer gold production and a breakdown of gold produced by creek. The second section comprises a collection of general interest and historical articles, including a new segment describing the first Yukon placer mining reclamation award. The Robert E. Leckie Award for Outstanding Reclamation Practices was created in honour of Mayo Mining Inspector, Bob Leckie, who passed away in 1999. Details of the award and each year's winners are in this section. The third section of the report contains detailed descriptions, locations and, in many cases, photographs of various placer mining operations visited by the Mining Inspection Division of the Mineral Resource Directorate during the course of duty.

This volume is a compilation of two types of data: placer mining inspection reports and placer publications by government and industry sources. Mining inspection reports were compiled from site visits conducted by the Placer Mining Inspection Unit from 1989 to 1990. This report differs from the preceding volume "Yukon Placer Mining and Exploration 1985 to 1988" in that it does not contain summaries of Placer Exploration Programs filed for assessment credit.

This volume contains reports describing the placer mining industry in Yukon during 1978 to 1982 and follows earlier annual Mineral Industry Reports for Yukon published by the Department of Indian and Northern Affairs, and by the Geological Survey of Canada. There are two sections in this volume. The first contains reports describing certain aspects of the placer mining industry, while the second contains maps showing the distribution of placer claims and leases, and descriptions of individual mining operations. Reports in the first section describe the placer mining industry as a whole, and outline regulations and restrictions on placer mining in Yukon. In addition, lists of references to selected creeks in Yukon are also included. Several papers describe the formation of placer deposits, and the exploration mining and marketing of placer gold. Reports in the second section describe 288 individual mining operations active in Yukon between 1978 and 1982. Information in the reports was derived from field investigations, from records on file, and some information for the years 1978 to 1979 was compiled from the field notes of Dr. D.B. Craig.

This report is a synthesis of the Yukon Geological Survey’s placer fieldwork and captures information collected from approximately 120 site visits conducted each season. Information is supplemented by details from staff at Compliance Monitoring and Inspections and, from conversations throughout the off-season with miners. This edition of the placer industry report is larger than ever, which speaks to the level of activity in the various districts and our commitment to providing an accurate record. In order to provide practical information, we have continued to increase the amount of geological detail in the report. The scope of the report also aims to capture mining activity and equipment utilized at each site. This helps frame the style of mining and gives a general idea about mine layout and processing techniques. The overall aim of the property descriptions is to provide a reference that is both insightful in the short term and informative decades into the future.

This volume contains reports describing the placer mining industry in Yukon during 1983 and 1984. There are two sections in this volume. The first contains reports describing certain aspects of the placer mining industry, while the second contains maps showing the distribution of placer claims and leases, and descriptions of individual mining operations. Reports in the first section describe the placer mining industry as a whole, and outline some regulations concerning placer mining in the Yukon. Several papers describe specific mining and processing methods, or specific mining operations. Reports in the second section describe 232 individual mining operations active in Yukon between 1983 and/or 1984.

The Yukon Placer Industry Report is a reflection of the strong working relationship between the Yukon Geological Survey (YGS) and the Yukon placer mining industry. Our annual tours into the various gold fields are always productive and provide new details on placer gold settings, which are encapsulated in this report.

This publication contains summaries of placer mining operations active between 2007 and 2009. Although formatted, summaries have not been edited for this publication. The maps were generated from an ArcGIS digital compilation, which was converted into a publishable format through Adobe Illustrator. Information about the active placer operations and related geology was derived from survey forms which were completed by placer miners, and from field visits. Although we have made our best efforts to include all active operations and to be as accurate as possible, there may be some omissions and errors and we apologize for those. Summaries are arranged in sections by drainage basin, with corresponding maps and photos included.
