The Mining index maps application is an interactive map application that allows users to select static quartz and/or placer claim maps.

The Yukon government amended the Quartz Mining Act and the Placer Mining Actin December 2013, to establish the authority to designate areas where government notification of Class 1 exploration activities is required. Before these amendments to the mining acts and regulation came into effect, prospectors undertaking Class 1 activities were not required to inform government of their work. Class 1 exploration activities generally have low potential to cause adverse environmental effects. A Notification is required if an exploration program is categorized as class 1 (OIC 2003/59 and OIC 2003/64) and located either on settlement land (category A or B) or within a class 1 notification area (OIC 2013/221).

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.

Orders in Council (OIC) are regulations or legislative orders in relation to and authorized by an existing Act. This table identifies Yukon lands withdrawn from disposal, usually by Territorial Order in Council. In Corporate Spatial Warehouse (CSW) data is split out into spatial views by Act under which orders are authorized. The tables are comprehensive and include both active and expired orders. Spatial views show only the active data.In this table and spatial views, Regulations by Order in Council (OIC) are spatially represented to provide clarity regarding Yukon lands withdrawn from disposal. Spatial data is viewed by the Act under which the order is authorized. Not all orders are for withdrawal, different levels of withdrawal are common and not detailed in GIS attributes.

A placer mining and exploration compilation of NTS map sheets 115 F and 115 G, southern Yukon Territory, Canada. This compilation includes the location, history and previous work, description of bedrock geology, surficial geology and mineralization, as well as lists of related references. Accompanying this report is one 1:250 000-scale map (NTS 115 F and G) which displays the locations of the placer occurrences discussed in the report.

A placer claim is a parcel of land located or granted for placer mining. A claim also includes any ditches or water rights used for mining the claim and all other things belonging to or used in the working of the claim for mining purposes. A placer claim is a rectangular plot of ground. All angles of a claim must be right angles, except in the case where a boundary line of a previously located claim is adopted as common to both locations. The length of a regular placer claim from post one to post two is 500 feet along a baseline. Co-discovery claims must not exceed 1250 feet each and single discovery claims must not exceed 1500 feet.

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.

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.

The placer potential mapping process consisted of applying a classification rating of 1 to 5 (lowest to highest) for all streams within the planning area. Factors affecting a stream's potential included development history and hard rock mining potential (gold deposit potential). Terrain attributes such as potential overburden thichness, water flow, or local topography were not factored into the rating due to lack of knowledges for most unmined drainages.

The Placer Mining Land Use Regulations consist of a classification system based on varying levels of specific activities. These threshold levels categorize exploration activities into four classes of operation. Classes 1 through 4 represent activities with increasing potential to cause adverse environmental impacts.

Prospecting leases are dispositions of land granted under the Placer Mining Act for the purpose of testing and prospecting ground for placer deposits. Prospecting leases cannot be mined. With reference to baselines, prospecting leases are staked in the same manner as placer claims, but cover a greater distance (up to a maximum of 5 miles). The purpose of a prospecting lease is to offer an applicant the opportunity to test a large area and the exclusive right to stake the ground to claims.

Historic placer mining areas in Yukon can be grouped into ten areas: Klondike; Sixtymile; Fortymile; Clear Creek; Moosehorn Range; Stewart River; Whitehorse South; Mayo; Dawson Range and Livingstone Creek. Each area has its own geomorphic setting and depositional history which is related to its glacial history. Several Quaternary glacial advances have been described in Yukon, and these are generally divided into three episodes, commonly known as the pre-Reid, Reid and McConnell, in order of oldest to most recent.
