Yukon Chamber of Mines
Mining is a pillar of Yukon’s identity.
Since 1896, mining has contributed
significantly to the prosperity of our
territory. The Yukon government is
building on that enduring legacy
and laying the foundation for the
future of Yukon’s mineral sector.
Yukon’s first Mineral Development
Strategy is being developed and
will be a comprehensive longterm guide for the responsible
management of Yukon’s mineral
resources. This strategy will uphold
our commitment to protecting the
environment and respecting the
rights and traditions of First Nations.
We are also concentrating on
research and mapping to benefit
the industry. The Yukon Geological
Survey continues to provide
information on Yukon’s geology
and mineral potential, which
supports exploration efforts and
resource management decisions.
SPILLS HAPPEN
IN ALL SHAPES AND SIZES
There are more than 2,700
mineral occurrences in Yukon that
cover only 10 per cent of Yukon’s
total land mass. This means there
are
remarkable
opportunities
for industry considering Yukon’s
significant
deposits
containing
gold, silver, copper, tungsten,
molybdenum, nickel, lead, zinc,
platinum and iron.
We are focused on creating a
positive climate for the mineral
sector because mining is important
to the wellbeing of our economy
and our citizens.
I look forward to working with
Yukon’s First Nations and all of
you to advance our shared goals
of prosperity and economic
development for Yukon.
Scott Kent
Minister of Energy, Mines
and Resources
THE YUKON CHAMBER OF MINES (YCM) is pleased to present another edition of our annual Yukon Mining & Exploration Directory. With over 12,000 copies
in print, this publication is widely circulated throughout Canada. We hope you
will find this directory is a useful resource as we approach the 2016 field season.
Many of the challenges our industry has faced over the past year continue to
be critical issues today. It will require a strong and unified lobby effort to protect and strengthen mining’s contribution to the economy as Yukon’s primary
industry. It will also require your continued support of YCM initiatives, such
as activities associated with Yukon Mining and Geology Week and the Yukon
Geoscience Forum and Trade Show. The stories you’ll find in this annual publication will show you how much we can achieve when we work together.
YUKON CHAMBER OF MINES
President’s Message
In 2016, YCM will continue to execute key priorities identified in its formal
five-year strategic plan. This means strengthening relations between all orders
of government while lobbying for improved permitting and regulatory efficiencies. Another key priority is continuing to build upon our communications
strategy, which will enable us to work towards improving citizens’ perceptions
of the industry. We will also continue to build upon the positive relationships
with local and national-level industry organizations and governments.
As a non-profit organization, a large portion of YCM’s funding comes from
the support of our members. On behalf of the board of directors and staff at
YCM, I would like to thank each company, organization, and individual
whose membership dollars enable us to continue lobby efforts on your behalf
while at the table with policy- and decision-makers at the community, territorial, and federal levels. YCM will continue to strengthen its voice as
a representative of Yukon’s modern, responsible mining industry.

in the Pelly Mountains. He returned to the
Yukon nearly every year since then to participate in the mineral exploration industry. Robin’s initial foray into the industry was in 2005
as a geologist for Yukon Zinc Corp., working
on the Wolverine deposit. Subsequently,
Equity Exploration Consultants Ltd. hired
him as a full-time project geologist. Many of
the projects were located in the Yukon, from
grassroots exploration to deposit definition,
and support for prefeasibility level studies.
Robin is currently employed by BMC
Minerals (No. 1) Ltd. where he is responsible
for managing exploration on the Kudz Ze
Kayah (KZK) project. Since acquisition of the
KZK property in late February 2015, BMC
Minerals Group has undertaken fieldwork
aimed at advancing the project toward becoming a sustainable mining operation and at the
identification of additional exploration targets.
Robin’s interest in joining the Yukon Chamber of Mines Board of Directors is to participate in the advocacy and education towards
a sustainable mining industry in the Yukon.

TIM SMITH, DIRECTOR
In 2010, Tim moved his family to Canada
where he recognized a once-in-a-career
opportunity to drill the first hole into the
Coffee Gold Project (a large, high-tenor,
gold-in-soil anomaly located 130 km south
of Dawson City, Yukon). From 2010 to
2015, the Kaminak Gold Corporation team,
under Tim’s supervision, discovered several
bedrock gold deposits and delineated over 5
million ounces of gold. Kaminak continues to
expand the gold resources at Coffee. Following a successful Preliminary Economic
Assessment in 2014, Kaminak announced
the results of a 43-101 compliant Feasibility
Study on Jan. 6, 2016. With this positive
feasibility study Kaminak intends to move
forward into mine permitting to support mine
construction, which is planned for mid-2018.
Tim has 20 years of industry experience,
which includes grassroots exploration through
to resource development and feasibility, as
well as open-pit and underground mining.
Tim is able to contribute across a broad
range of disciplines. With six years of
experience in the Yukon, as well as being
part of the Kaminak team aiming to take
the Coffee project through permitting
over the next few years, he is well placed to
represent and advocate on behalf of the Yukon
Chamber of Mines’ diverse membership.

Inside the Industry
have a say in what’s going on in our
territory. That occurred and it was a
breath of fresh air for industry folks. They
were saying it was nice to see the First
Nation knows what it wants and is able to
articulate it in a simple document. From
there, we ended up working with the industry in our area—the placer miners and
the biggest one, Wellgreen, of course. We
were looking at environmental impacts,
monitoring, and wildlife impacts—things
that would normally be part of a YESAB
[Yukon Environmental and Socio-economic Assessment Board] submission. We
just made sure our interests in the area
and our stewardship responsibilities were
taken into consideration. It worked out
pretty good, I think.
so that we build our community instead
of a fly-in, fly-out camp 18 miles up the
road. We want to have families come and
work because the mine life is expected
to be 25, 30 years for the deposit they’re
looking at. We’re also doing work on our
Category A land, which has included
identifying the deposits that extend into
our land. It could very well extend the life
of that site to well over 100 years. It could
be significant for our area, and we want
to make sure that we’re not only participating, but also building a sustainable
community.
What other benefits do you see
flowing from this partnership?
Community growth is one of the big ones.
There are also opportunities for economic growth within our citizens, within
our skills levels. We don’t just want the
small-scale jobs. We want joint ventures
and partnerships, a stake in the engineering, and a stake in the biological monitoring and the hydrological monitoring. We
want to have geologists. We want those
skilled positions. I was just talking with

BUILDING ALLIANCES
BETWEEN FIRST NATIONS
AND INDUSTRY
Q&A WITH KLUANE FIRST NATION CHIEF
MATH’IEYA ALATINI
BURWASH LANDING IS A dollop of rustic homes, log structures, and a
shuttered one-stop hotel, eatery, museum, bait shop, and bar ladled
along the shores of Kluane Lake and Mile 1,093 of the Alaska Highway.
The locals in the southwestern Yukon community are mostly First
Nations people of Southern Tutchone heritage, and the total number
of folks who call this place home sits just south of triple digits.
The village is quiet (it’s famous for its black-spruce burls) and
small in stature, but rich with natural beauty, on (and under)
the land resources, and blueprints for a healthy future.
Central to those plans is an alliance the local self-governing First
Nation government has struck with Wellgreen Platinum, a mining
exploration and development company working in their traditional
territory on a top-shelf platinum, nickel, and copper deposit.
Math’ieya Alatini, Chief of the Kluane First Nation headquartered
in Burwash Landing, freed a moment from her busy schedule
to share her Nation’s aspirations and how collaborating
with Wellgreen feeds her community’s dreams.
I’m happy to finally connect with you.
You’ve got tenacity, which is a good thing.
(LAUGHS.)
I can appreciate how busy you
must be. How long have you been
Chief of the Kluane First Nation?
I’m currently in my sixth year.
How is the mineral economy
important to your First Nation?
Our community has had a long history with
mining, be it placer or quartz. The former HudBay
operation was in our territory in the 1970s. We also
have quite a few citizens who are placer miners
or have been involved in placer mining, drilling, or
some aspect of mining. It’s an important part of
the economy and local employment.
How has the Kluane First Nation
recently been involved?
During the big rush in 2010–2011, we created a
mineral-engagement guide and really sat down
with industry and government and said, “What
do we have going on here?” We’re just educating
ourselves on the industry and the processes and
where we fit in as a government. We came up with
a strong mandate, where our Council at the time
decided we wanted to be engaged. We want to
We have an exploration-cooperation
agreement that identifies benefits for the
First Nation and our corporation. It spells
out the relationship and a mechanism
if the project goes past exploration into
actual construction—there is a construction agreement that would be required or
an Impact Benefits Agreement.
The agreement also has a management-team component. It’s a team of
their officials, our officials, and YESAB—
the district office and the executive. I
participate as a member of Council, and
the Yukon Government’s environment
department also participates. What we
do is go through any plans; like mine
design that the company is contemplating submitting for permitting purposes.
That gets vetted first at a committee
level. We all get to poke holes in the
designs, whatever they may be, and put
forward recommendations for fixing it or
improvements.
What is it about this approach
that tells you this is a company you want to align with?
They take us seriously. They bring their
consultants to the table, and sometimes
they’re going, “Oh, wow, we never even
thought of that” or “We didn’t know that
plant existed here.” Their consultants are
learning what First Nation engagement
can actually look like—more so than
sending us a consultation letter with the
request that we get back to them. That’s
not what engagement means. It’s a novel
approach for industry and for their environmental consultants, engineers, and
everybody else.
What are the plans for your
traditional territory?
They’re looking at a large mine site, but
they’re still at the exploration stage.
We’ve also been talking about residential development on our settlement land,
» Chief Alatini speaks with investors.
And do you see Wellgreen
Platinum’s plans meshing
with the aspirations you
have for your First Nation?
They’re more than willing to work with us
on bringing in people who want to move
their families here and not just going to
fly in for two weeks and then they’re out.
They’re talking about infrastructure in our
community. They’ve even gone so far to
sponsor the police if we can convince the
RCMP and the Yukon Government to build
a police detachment in the area if the
mine goes ahead. The management is
cooperative and taking a common-sense
approach: if you’re going to build a mine,
let’s help build a community as well. That
legacy can live on. We have big plans for
little Burwash.
Corporation] about the mine site her husband works on in Botswana. Ninety-eight
percent of the employees are Botswanan.
How incredible is that?
What advice do you have
for other companies wanting to conduct business in
your traditional territory?
Take a common-sense approach. You’d
want people coming into your neighbourhood to consult with you. So have that
same respect—not just our First Nation,
but if you’re in other First Nations’ territories, extend that same courtesy. A

WE ARE IN IT TOGETHER
OUR YUKON, IN IT TOGETHER CAMPAIGN SHOWS YUKONERS HOW A HEALTHY
MINING INDUSTRY CAN POSITIVELY CONTRIBUTE TO THEIR QUALITY OF LIFE
By Elke Reinauer
THE MINING INDUSTRY IS THE YUKON’S MOST VITAL
private sector employer and contributor, and the Our Yukon, In
It Together campaign shares the stories of people involved and
affected by it. The campaign aims to communicate how mining
and exploration is working to uphold environmental, social and
cultural values, as well as supporting communities throughout
the territory.
“Our Yukon, In It Together focuses on the people who make
up our territory’s mining industry and their stories. It’s about
Yukoners who contribute to the industry and want opportunities
for themselves, for their families, and for their community that a
healthy mining industry can provide,” Amanda Leslie explains.
Leslie is the Yukon project lead for the campaign. Our Yukon
officially launched in November 2015 at the Yukon Geoscience
Forum and Trade Show, in Whitehorse, and is a three-year
campaign. Online videos show people sharing their perspectives
about working in the industry. The objective of the campaign
is to inspire a whole new generation of miners, explorers, and
researchers.
“It is important for our campaign that actual people and actual
stories are being told, by the individuals who live, work and play
right here in the Yukon,” Leslie explains.
Mining has a long history in the Yukon and the industry
affects everyone who lives in the territory in a variety of ways.
Our Yukon aims to point out the importance of mining, the
social and environmental values of the industry, and highlight
the benefits for Yukon youth. Young people in the territory can
get an education and specific training in mining and exploration
through the Centre for Northern Innovation in Mining at Yukon
College.
“We want Yukon youth to realize that the mining industry
provides opportunities to study here in the territory, pursue a
well-paid career here, and to stay and raise their own families, if
they so choose,” Leslie says.
The campaign also points out that both a successful mining
industry and a healthy environment are very much achievable in
the territory.
“We, the mining industry, take
responsibility for the environment,” Leslie explains. “A healthy
mining industry in the Yukon is
responsible and sustainable, and
can provide opportunities for
social and economic benefits to
Yukon individuals, businesses and
communities.”
According to the Our Yukon website, almost two-thirds of Yukoners
believe a balance can be struck
between mining and protecting the
environment. The campaign wants
to help Yukoners understand that
this is absolutely the case in the
territory, and that the Yukon is a
leader on the national and global
stage. A key aspect to achieving
this is respect and stewardship of
the environment, which Yukoners
all treasure.
“The Yukon provides an amazing
quality of life for the people who
live here,” Leslie says.
Our Yukon also highlights the
benefits the mining and exploration
industry offers to Yukon families.
Josh Clark is a Whitehorse-based
private sector employee and father
of two children. In a video featuring him on the Our Yukon website,
he explains how great it is to raise a
family in the Yukon.
“Mining touches all of us and
brings diversity, balance, and sustainability to our community. I
think it’s just an excellent partner
to have in the Yukon economy,”
Clark says.
He believes a healthy mining
sector adds to different aspects
within the territory, from sponsorship of community events to
donations to the Yukon Hospital
Foundation, and supporting various other charities involved with
territory-wide family literacy and
education.
Another important aspect of the Our
Yukon campaign, according to Leslie,
is respectful and meaningful partnerships with Yukon First Nations. These
collaborations have become a core
guiding principle for everyone working
in the industry.
“Research partnerships to discover
new and innovative northern reclamation and salmon habitat technologies, for example, are contributing to
national and international mining best
practices,” she says.
Chief Math’ieya Alatini of the Kluane
First Nation shared her perspective
through the Our Yukon campaign. She
appears in a video on the website saying
her hope for the industry is responsible
development that is done in collaboration with self-governing First Nations.
“Where our citizens are gaining the
benefit of highly-paid, skilled positions
that will keep them and their families
in our community,” Alatini adds.
Ultimately, as Leslie explains, the
campaign aims to spread awareness
about the beneficial aspects of the
mining industry for individuals, families, Yukon youth, communities, and
First Nations throughout the territory.
“Our Yukon’s goal is to help Yukoners better understand how a healthy
mining industry positively contributes
to the social and economic quality
of life we enjoy here in the territory,”
Leslie says.
Two new videos were unveiled
during Yukon Mining & Geology
Week this May. Both discuss meaningful partnerships between industry
and Yukon First Nations, and further
communicate the campaign’s message
regarding the industry’s commitment
to community. For videos and more information,

TRAINING THE
INDUSTRY’S FUTURE
HOW THE CENTRE FOR NORTHERN INNOVATION
IN MINING STARTED AND WHERE IT GOES FROM HERE
The fundamentals of extracting loose gold from the Yukon’s dirt—wash, rinse,
repeat—have remained unchanged for over a century. That seems barren ground
for industry innovation, but the Centre for Northern Innovation in Mining (CNIM)
has found other ways to revolutionize the mineral-extraction world
CNIM now offers a suite of short- and and feed mining camps across the territory with skilled labour.
“What we have is unique,” says Shelagh Rowles, executive director
long-term training options, including
of CNIM. “It’s well respected by industry, the territory, and academheavy-equipment operator and mechanic ics across the country, who have been really instrumental in buildtraining, introductory trades exploration, ing the credibility and comprehensiveness of the program.”
The centre opened in 2013, when industry was getting
underground mining skills, and a “growly” about training and desperate for a qualified workforce,
geological technology diploma. says Rowles. The lack of local help meant the three producing mines of the time were paying $8 million a year between
them on transporting shift workers in and out of the territory.
Several entities, including the Mine Training Association and Yukon College,
developed training to address the labour gap, and while their efforts had a
positive impact, the lack of coordination had an unintended consequence.
“There was no single place for people to find out about training,” Rowles explains. “Everybody was competing instead of coming
together and identifying and responding to training needs.”
A feasibility study confirmed that a one-stop schooling centre based at the
territory’s education institution of note—Yukon College—made sense.
CNIM now offers a suite of short- and long-term training options, including
heavy-equipment operator and mechanic training, introductory trades exploration, underground mining skills, and a geological technology diploma. Courses
run from one week to two years, during which students learn skills ranging
from understanding the chemistry of rock formation to yanking a wrench.
“We’re not catering to a single audience,” says Rowles. “Not everything is high level
and technical, but not everything is entry level. We’re trying to build the workforce.
“Across all the programs, we embed safety training so that people have the basic
employability skills no matter what program they’re a part of,” she adds. “We’re
trying to make sure regardless if they’re in a diploma program or a two-week
Inside the Industry
program [that] there are some consistencies in those competencies.”
This education is delivered in almost
every Yukon community—usually in
a classroom or one of several mobile
trades trailers—which satisfies CNIM’s
goal of training people where they live,
a vision of at-home instruction that
Rowles says is historically unheard of.
However, if all goes according
to plan, CNIM will be expanding
by opening the doors on a brand
new home in the fall of 2016.
“We didn’t have the ability to do more
because there just was nowhere to
put more training,” says Rowles. “This
will alleviate a lot of that pressure.”
The new structure will be located at
Yukon College’s Whitehorse campus
and include a ten-thousand-squarefoot shop, three classrooms, several
offices, and a common area for students. The facility will also incorporate
energy-efficient construction, and
consideration is being given to features
that will make the building itself an
experiment in innovative practices.
“We’re trying to figure out how we can
… introduce solar energy and measure
its effectiveness in the building,” Rowles
says, noting that any lessons learned
would be shared with mining companies. “Anything we can do to help make
those operations more sustainable and
align even more with the environment,
I think the better for everybody.”
CNIM is also expanding on their
circumpolar offerings (a partnership with the University of Alaska
already has training occurring in
Delta Junction, Alaska) and has
designs for connecting with Iqaluit
and Northwest Territories on a pannorthern industry-training program.
And with discussions around highgrading Yukon College into a university,
Rowles sees further potential for growth.
“The College has been really clear
through the board and administration
that [this] will be a hybrid university. It’s
a model we’ve seen in other jurisdictions,
with trades and vocational programming being a key part of the overall
organization,” she says. “We might be
able to offer a full geological degree.
Looking in the energy field, could we
start to look at more technical training
related to energy and construction? We
see this as only being a good thing.”
Of all the initiatives at CNIM, Rowles
points to one success that has been key:
partnerships. The school’s governance
council includes representatives from the
mining industry, as well as the Yukon and
First Nation governments. The group, she
says, validates the course scheduling,
ensuring the lessons satisfy the need.
The collaboration has meant a
leading-edge approach on developing environment-based programs and
has CNIM on the cusp of delivering an
environmental-monitoring program
that is likely only possible in the Yukon’s
unique, self-governing landscape.
“It’s the ideal model—having a
reflection of First Nation priorities as
it relates to environmental monitoring—involved in industry,” Rowles says.
“It’s this collective win-win approach,
and I don’t see that in a lot of places.
I see tension around the theory and
the western science behind environmental monitoring and the First Nation
perspective. What we’ve done here is
highlight, validate, and support both.
“Success isn’t just measured
by people being employed in
the industry,” she adds.

MINERALS
AND MINING 101
PROSPECTOR COURSES OFFERED BY THE YUKON CHAMBER
OF MINES ARE NOT JUST FOR MINERS, BUT ALSO THOSE
KEEN TO LEARN ABOUT ROCKS AND MINERALS
By Elke Reinauer
WANT TO KNOW MORE ABOUT
MINING? Whether out of personal
or professional interest, the Yukon
Chamber of Mines has an educational
opportunity for you. For over 60 years,
the organization has offered basic and
advanced prospector courses. The classes
are open to anyone, offering participants
a chance to learn about everything from
how prospecting works to an overview
of basic geological information, as well
as a review of the major mineral commodities, geology of the Yukon, and more
in-depth information and training.
Al Doherty, a well-known geologist
in the Yukon, has been teaching the
classes for over 30 years. The courses are
offered twice yearly as a basic course
and also as an advanced course for those
seeking more knowledge and information about working in the industry.
“The teachings focus on mineral
identification and basic general
geological concepts with a strong
focus on mineral exploration and
the methodologies utilized in finding ore bodies,” Doherty explains.
The geologist says that he likes to pass
on information and educate people about
the land, exploration, and mining. Photo: archbould.com

“A broad spectrum of people are
taking the course each year,” Doherty
says. “The majority of participants
enroll because they are interested in
the rocks they see on their trips and
hikes. Some sign up because they do
work that may benefit from a better
understanding of local geology.”
He says the courses also attract
newcomers to the Yukon who
want to learn about mining.
Doherty has worked as a field geologist
in the Yukon since 1980, and has done
summer field work with the British
Columbia Geological Survey and
Newfoundland Geological Survey. He
has played a very active role with the
Yukon Chamber of Mines since 1986,
serving as president from 1988–1989 and
again in 1991. He was also a member
of the Yukon Minerals Advisory Board
from 2003–2009, and the Yukon regional
director for the Prospectors & Developers
Association of Canada from 2000–2009.
Doherty was also involved with the
inception of the Yukon Mine Training
Association and took on the role as first
board chair for the association in 2006.
“Teaching this [prospector] course is
very rewarding as I watch participants
learn about the Earth's history and

the ups and downs of rocks and the
markets. I strongly focus on learning
to identify key common minerals,”
he says. “I like watching people walk
away with a much better notion of how
and why we explore for minerals.” Doherty says the prospecting course
is also a platform for addressing some
of the common misconceptions about
mining and metals. One specific misconception, according to Doherty, is
that “mining costs the Yukon money.”
“The product and some of the profit
may go outside the Yukon, but basically
this is a false statement. Depending on
how many mines are operating (there is
one currently) and the stage in exploration cycle (usually 5 to 8 year cycles),
mining and exploration accounts for
11 to 13 percent of the GDP. The total
value of mineral production from the
Yukon for the past 120 years is about $28
billion,” Doherty explains. “Kaminak
Gold Corporation is projected to pay $43
million annually in corporate taxes.”
Kaminak Gold Corporation, a Canadian mineral exploration project genera-
tor, is currently focused on developing
its Coffee Gold project south of Dawson
City, which the company predicts will
generate more than $2 billion in gross
revenue and employ close to 500 people.
With anticipated success for the mining
and exploration industry, the Yukon
Chamber of Mines revived its prospector
courses last year to offer some entry-level
experience to those interested either inside
or outside of the existing field. The courses
filled up quickly and were brought back
in the spring of 2016 by popular demand.
By the end of the course, participants
write a test and receive a certificate
signed and sealed with an illustration of a prospector’s cabin drawn by
iconic Yukon artist Jim Robb.
“A few participants find it is a
bit too detailed and drop out,”
Doherty says, “but most stay with it
and become more familiar with the
terminology and overall complexity of
interactions leading to the formation
and discovery of a mineral deposit.” A

Mining History
MCINTYRE CREEK AND THE COPPER KING
THEN: The first Whitehorse Copper Belt claim staked was
by John (Jack) McIntyre of Pembroke, Ont., on July 6, 1898.
The discovery was named “Copper King” and became one
of nine underground mines operating from 1899-1920.
NOW: This is a great place for a stroll through Whitehorse’s
breathtaking wilderness. Discover mining artifacts and mineralized rocks as you fish at the Copper King discovery claim.

Here are some highlights from the Whitehorse
Copper Belt Heritage and Recreation Guide:
FISH LAKE ROAD
THEN: Melting glaciers and powerful erosion created the
McIntyre Creek area seen from the Fish Lake Road lookout. Early
prospectors discovered rich, mineralized rocks here that had been
buried under thick packages of sediment for millions of years.
NOW: This scenic stop offers a stunning view of McIntyre
Creek. It’s a popular area for birdwatchers (check out the
McIntyre Marsh Bird Banding Station) and fishers (catch
Arctic char and rainbow trout at Pumphouse Pond).
» A team of horses hauls a 20-ton boiler to the Pueblo mine in 1910.
THE YUKON CHAMBER OF MINES RELEASED THE Whitehorse Copper
Belt Heritage and Recreation Guide in the fall of 2015. The detailed map
highlights various landmarks throughout the Copper Belt area, including trails to hike and ski, where to locate interesting rocks and minerals,
wildlife viewpoints, and details on well-known spots like the Copper
Belt Railway & Mining Museum, and Whitehorse Nordic Centre.
The Copper Belt area is northwest of downtown Whitehorse near the Porter
Creek subdivision and runs parallel to the Alaska Highway for 30 kilometres to
Cowley Creek. Numerous mines once existed along the stretch, some containing deposits with grades as high as 20 percent copper. Prospectors like Sam
McGee, John McIntyre, William Grainger, and H.E. Porter were among the
first to explore the landscape, contributing to Whitehorse’s rich mining history.

PUEBLO MINE SITE
THEN: This area was once home to the largest and richest mine during the early Copper Belt days. H.E. Porter
staked the Pueblo claim in 1899, along with Chief Jim Boss,
a legendary First Nation leader and successful entrepreneur.
Tragedy struck in 1917 when a collapse occurred at the
mine, trapping nine miners, three of which survived.
NOW: Copper mineralization can still be seen in the rock
wall, but now the land is home to the Icy Waters commercial fish farm. A waste-rock pile at the foot of Haeckel
Hill has some interesting specimens to check out.
COPPER HAUL ROAD
THEN: This road began as an 18-km spur line of the White Pass
and Yukon Route Railway in 1907, servicing the region’s copper
mines. It ran from McRae to the Pueblo Mine on Fish Lake
Road. Copper Haul Road served the largest copper deposits and
the mill during the second phase of mining from 1967–1982.
NOW: The road today, which was constructed in 1969, stretches
through the heart of the Copper Belt. Explore one of the only
remaining natural exposures of magnetite skarn—the richest
of the copper mineralized rock at Best Chance. The multi-use
trail is part of the Trans Canada Trail and great for hiking,
running, skiing, mountain biking, and ATV adventures.
BLACK CUB SOUTH SWIMMING HOLE
THEN: This area found at the southern end of Copper
Haul Road was developed as an iron-skarn deposit
during the modern mining era from 1967–1982.
NOW: Heading to the quarry on a hot summer day
has been a popular pastime for over 30 years. Most of
the copper-rich rocks have been mined out, but it is still
home to samples of various other minerals. A

GEOSCIENCE
FORUM AWARDS
The YUKON CHAMBER OF MINES
COMMUNITY AWARD went to
Victoria Gold Corporation, a leading gold
exploration and development company.
Its Eagle Gold project in the Yukon is
shovel-ready and is expected to produce
200,000+ ounces of gold annually. Victoria
Gold Corporation was recognized for
its commitment toward the advancement of sustainable and responsible
work in the Yukon mining industry.
The YUKON CHAMBER OF MINES
MEMBER AWARD went to Capstone
Mining Corporation, a Canadian base
metals mining company focused on
copper. It operates the Minto Mine in central Yukon, which is one of the company’s
three producing copper mines. Capstone
Mining Corporation was recognized for
its commitment to exemplifying modern
development practices in the industry.
The Yukon Prospectors Association
bestowed Roger Hulstein and Farrell
Andersen with the PROSPECTOR OF
THE YEAR award. Hulstein came to the
Yukon in the 1980s and began working
on the Mount Skukum gold project with
AGIP Canada, eventually establishing
himself as a founding partner in Aurum
Geological Consultants. He conducted
exploration on behalf of many clients
throughout the Yukon, and went on to
work for Kennecott Canada, acquiring
and testing a number of gold properties
in the territory. Andersen grew up in
a placer mining family. Armed with a
geology degree from UBC, he went on to

work on gold, diamond, base metal, and
industrial mineral programs throughout
the world. Andersen was an early believer
in the White Gold district, where he
staked claims and explored in the 1990s.
Together Hulstein and Andersen took
interest in the Wels Gold Property in
the Yukon, which is east of Beaver Creek
and north of Kluane Lake. Discoveries in the overlooked area have since
become particularly important for the
future of the Yukon’s mining industry.
During the awards banquet, the Yukon
Government also announced this year’s
ROBERT E. LECKIE AWARD winners, which recognize prime examples
of innovative and responsible modern
mining in the territory. Minto Explorations
Ltd. won for innovation and responsible
management of its mine site, and for its
efforts in protecting the environment.
The company reclaimed and replaced
its original land treatment facility with
a new one to increase environmental
protection, and constructed its camp
on disturbed ground in an effort to
reduce the footprint of the project.
Kaminak Gold Corporation won an
award for incorporating environmental
and social responsibility principles at its
Coffee property. The company utilized
adaptive planning and innovative responses
toward progressive reclamation. Kaminak
also focused on building capacity and
advancing positive, growing relationships
with First Nations and local communities.
Caw Mining was awarded for its
commitment to environmental stewardship. The company went beyond the
permitted requirements to demonstrate
its desire to leave the ground fully
reclaimed for current and future generations. Caw Mining has implemented
extensive reclamation work at its site.
The awards are in remembrance of
Robert E. Leckie, a Mayo mining inspector
and innovator dedicated to the development of progressive land-use practices.

A LOOK BACK AT THE 43RD
ANNUAL YUKON GEOSCIENCE
FORUM AND TRADE SHOW
With over 350 delegates in attendance, the 43rd annual Yukon
Geoscience Forum and Trade Show was held in Whitehorse from
Nov. 14–17, 2015. The event is composed of technical sessions, an
investment forum, a placer forum, and a trade show. An advisory
committee organizes the annual forum, along with a working
group comprised of staff and volunteers at the Yukon Chamber
of Mines and the Yukon Geological Survey. The tireless efforts of
the dedicated volunteers and technical experts ensure the Geoscience Forum and Trade Show is a success each and every year.
The event provides an opportunity to celebrate relationships and
build partnerships between First Nation governments, the Government of Yukon, as well as mining and exploration industries,
and various academia connected to the mining field. It is a place
where those involved in mining and exploration from young to
old can gather to discuss new ideas or reminisce about old times.
The Geoscience Forum is rooted in the strength of its technical
program, which includes results of recent mapping and research
conducted by the Yukon Geological Survey and other geoscientists.
Jurisdictional exploration overviews are provided from the Yukon
Geological Survey, the British Columbia Geological Survey, and the
Alaska Geological Survey. Companies working within the industry,
as well as prospectors, present property-specific exploration results.
In 2015, the investment forum at the Geoscience Forum highlighted five keynote speakers: Chief Clarence Louie, Chief of the
Osoyoos Indian Band and CEO of the Osoyoos Indian Band
Development; Pierre Gratton, President and CEO of the Mining
Association of Canada; Andrew Cheattle, Executive Director
of the Prospectors & Developers Association of Canada; Jeffrey Christian, Managing Partner, CPM Group; and, Michael
Catsi, Business Development and Communications Director,
Alaska Industrial Development and Export Authority.
The high profile nature of these keynote speakers is a direct
reflection of the significant role that the mining and exploration
industries play in the Yukon and Canada, and the recognition and draw the Geoscience Forum has to attract significant
presenters from such a wide variety of organizations.
However, the Geoscience Forum and Trade Show is not all
technical; it is also a place of commerce, fundraising, marketing,
networking and education. Over 50 exhibitors signed up for either a
two- or four-day booth presence to pitch local services and supplies
of industry products. The trade-show floor was constantly buzzing
with the sound of business, with exhibitors promoting everything
from locally made core boxes to first aid services and supplies.
» Participants at the event panned for gold,
learned about the industry during school
tours, and networked during the trade show.
Furthermore, the Geoscience Forum engages in the spirit of giving
back to the territory in which exploration and mining companies
operate in and around. Throughout the event participants are
delighted with the opportunity to bid on silent and live auction
items donated by various industry members. These fundraisers
have supported a wide range of community initiatives, such as the
Yukon Imagination Library. Established in the Yukon, in 2007, by
the Rendezvous Rotary Club of Whitehorse, the Yukon Imagination Library provides one free book per month to enrolled Yukon
children from birth to the age of five. At the 2015 Geoscience Forum,
a whopping $15,555 was raised for the Yukon Imagination Library,
which the Government of Yukon matched for a total of $31,110. Items
in the silent and live auctions were jointly fundraised by the Yukon
Chamber of Mines and the Northern Safety Network Yukon.
The Geoscience Forum and Trade Show is also a medium for the
Yukon Chamber of Mines to pitch the Yukon as a place for industry
to invest. Over the years the Yukon Chamber of Mines has unveiled
many key marketing initiatives at the event and the 2015 Geoscience
Forum was no different. The campaign Our Yukon, In It Together
was unveiled, featuring four short-story vignettes on how the mining
and exploration sector directly affects the decisions and lifestyles of
people and families who have chosen to call the Yukon home. These
stories can now be found at yukonminers.com for everyone to enjoy.
(See more about the Our Yukon, In It Together campaign on pg. 14.)
The Geoscience Forum and Trade Show is also focused on engaging the next generation, which is why it is open to anyone and
everyone interested in participating as a delegate. Trade show exhibitors shared their services, supplies, and knowledge with hundreds of
Yukon students during the four-day conference. This is in an effort
to ensure that young Yukoners are provided with the opportunity
to learn more about mining and exploration, and are aware of the
careers the industry has to offer to live, work and play in the Yukon.
The Yukon Chamber of Mines collaborates with the Yukon Department of Education to organize visits and learning opportunities for
students in hopes of creating lasting impressions that will strengthen
both the mining and exploration industry and the Yukon’s future.
The Yukon Geoscience Forum and Trade Show is constantly
evolving with each year, and is always an impressive showcase of the mining and exploration industry, which is one of
the Yukon’s most important economic drivers. We welcome
everyone to participate in the 2016 Geoscience Forum and
Trade Show and look forward to seeing you there! A

EXPERTISE
sustainable environmental practices. Dr. Janin will
continue to provide quality and independent research
that is publicly available. The Yukon Mining Research
Consortium is committed to increasing the knowledge, skills and abilities of Yukoners in environmental
research and practice to the benefit of the territory.
The next two years will be busy for Dr. Janin and her
team. Her PhD candidate, Guillaume Nielsen, will defend
his thesis and continue to support Dr. Janin on projects
directed by the consortium. These projects include
YUKON COLLEGE IS LEADING THE NORTH in sustainable mining
research and innovation. Five Yukon mining companies
have renewed their commitment to the college’s Industrial
Research Chair in Mine Life Cycle, from the Natural Sciences
and Engineering Research Council (NSERC), after two successful years of partnership. Dr. Amelie Janin, who holds the
chair position, secured this commitment with Alexco Resource
Corp., Capstone Mining Corp., Casino Mining Corp., Selwyn
Chihong Mining Ltd., and Victoria Gold Corporation through
her research results on passive mine water treatment.
Dr. Janin and her team proved early in their research
that northern bacteria can remove heavy metals from mine
water. In fact, they remove a substantial amount. Results have
consistently shown that bacteria can remove over 99 percent
of copper from contaminated water with similar results with
cadmium, zinc and selenium. These results have led the Yukon
Mining Research Consortium to ask more questions. Can bacteria survive the winter? How long does passive water treatment work and remain efficient? How can we build capacity
in First Nations communities to use passive water treatment?
Dr. Janin and her team are currently working to answer these
questions for the Yukon Mining Research Consortium partners.
Dr. Janin, along with her Yukon College students and
PhD candidate, has been testing pilot bioreactors at both
Minto mine and the historic Keno Hill district for the past
two years. In 2015, Dr. Janin proved that bacteria can
indeed survive and flourish in a northern climate, offering
a viable and self-sufficient mine water treatment option in
the North. This research will be presented at the Canadian
Land Reclamation Association conference in June 2016.
Since bacteria are successfully removing heavy metals from
mine water and surviving a northern winter, passive water
treatment may be one of the few options that could continue
to be implemented even after mine closure and beyond. Dr.
Janin and her team have developed lab experiments that
explore the conditions needed to sustain bacteria for the life of
the project. Yukon Research Centre chemists are using northern moss, plants, peat moss, and willow to develop recipes
that help the bacteria flourish in bioreactors. These results will
then be used to create a model of microbial communities that
can be used by industry in passive water treatment plans.
The Yukon Mining Research Consortium has directed Dr.
Janin to develop culturally inclusive remediation practices.
A partnership has been developed with the Nacho Nyäk
Dun First Nation (NND) where researchers and land department staff are working together, combining ideas from both
world views on mine closure. Dr. Janin was invited to present
her science in Mayo with the objective of increasing NND
knowledge and understanding of passive water treatment.
NND citizens are being trained as environmental monitors and working closely with the Yukon College’s Centre
for Northern Innovation in Mining to develop opportunities for NND to participate in future closure work at Keno.
Researchers have also developed and delivered weekly
workshops on passive water treatment with students at
the Eliza Van Bibber School, in Pelly Crossing, this spring.
The renewal of the Yukon Mining Research Consortium
prompted strategic planning for the next two years. All five
industrial partners reaffirmed their mandate to develop
research leadership in addressing northern challenges and
opportunities within Yukon’s mining industry. The NSERC
Industrial Research Chair in Mine Life Cycle will act as a
vehicle for industry, First Nations, and other governments to
work collaboratively in determining effective mechanisms for

developing a wetland demonstration unit, bioreactor and
wetland mathematical modeling, and continued research
on whether plants uptake heavy metals. They will also
continue sharing their results with the community at large
through publications, conferences, and community events.
Yukon College is a dynamic facility where its programs
and the Yukon Research Centre work collaboratively
to meet the needs of Yukoners. The NSERC Industrial
Research Chair in Mine Life Cycle works with both the Yukon
Research Centre and the Centre for Northern Innovation
in Mining to respond to the mining industry and support
their priorities. The position is also focused on continuing to work for northerners over the next two years to
solve northern problems with northern expertise. A
