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 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.

A brief report on placer mining that provides background information to those readers with little or no knowledge of placer mining. Some of the topics discussed in this report are as follows: - What is placer mining? - Characteristics of gold - Placer deposits:: where are they found? - Operations:: medium and large - Permafrost - Buying and selling gold - Rules and regulations - Use of land and trees - Water use regulations - Fineness of Yukon placer gold - Staking guide - Excerpts from the Yukon Placer Mining Act

Yukon Exploration 1985-1986 provides details of exploration and mining activity in the Yukon, including placer mining. It discusses the geology of Yukon mineral deposits and mineral districts under active investigation and provides a summary of exploration work done by mineral exploration companies. Summaries are based on reports submitted to the department for assessment credit.

This report documents the state of the Placer Mining Industry in the Yukon Territory for the 1993 and 1994 mining seasons. This report differs from previous volumes in that the placer mining inspection reports are organized by drainage basin. 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 volume contains four papers of general interest: "Prehistoric gold" describes the discovery of an extinct Ice Age horse; "Water" is a brief account that tells of the difficulties, historically, in obtaining water for placer mining; "Oldest valid Yukon placer claims" describes claims kept in good standing for the greatest length of time; and "The early development of placer mining in the Yukon 1873-1896" is a historical overview of the development of placer mining in the Yukon.

This report was prepared to provide published information on the lode and placer mining industries in the Yukon during an important part of its history: mining and milling of Elsa and Keno Hill silver-lead ores had begun; significant nickel, copper, lead and zinc deposits were discovered in the White River, Vangorda Creek, and Macmillan Pass areas; and asbestos deposits were discovered. Placer mining activity continued, although pressures in the form of rising costs, and stable gold prices were forcing the industry into decline. Both the lode and placer mining industries were affected during the war years by shortages of men and equipment, although there was a great deal of attention paid to sources of tungsten, a strategic mineral. Records are not complete. Government office changes, lack of storage space and a warehouse fire may be some of the contributing factors..

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 provides an overview of Yukon mining and exploration for 1988, including placer mining.

The Yukon Placer Mining Industry report reflects the strong 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 this report encapsulates.
