THE YUKON CHAMBER OF MINES is pleased to present another edi-tion of our annual Yukon Mining and Exploration Directory. With over 12,000 copies in print and widely circulated throughout Canada, we hope you will find this directory is a useful resource as we approach the 2015 field season.

Many of the challenges that have faced our industry over the past year continue to be important issues to YCM and our members. The silver lining resides in the fact that exploration expenses in the Yukon increased to $107 million in 2014 and are projected to increase even further in 2015*. Coupled with the Yukon’s #1 ranking worldwide for mineral endowment, the potential and future of the Yukon’s mineral exploration and mining industry continues to be the foundation and growth of the territory. However, it will still require a strong and unified lobby effort to protect and strengthen mining’s contribution to the economy as the Yukon’s primary industry.

YCM developed and adopted a formal strategic plan in 2014 and identified several key priorities. Moving forward in 2015, YCM will focus on strengthening relations between all levels of government while lobbying for improved permitting and regula-tory efficiencies, land access, land-use planning, and a continued investment in infrastructure and mine skills training. Another key priority for this year is building upon our communications strategy, which will enable us to work toward improv-ing citizens’ perceptions of our industry and continuing to build upon the positive relationships with local and national-level industry organizations and governments.

As a non-profit organization, a large portion of the Chamber’s funding comes from the support of our members. On behalf of the board of direc-tors 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 com-munity, territorial, and federal levels. YCM will continue to strengthen its voice as a representative of the Yukon’s modern and responsible mining industry.

Sincerely,

Brad Thrall, PresidentYukon Chamber of Mines

The mining sector is a cornerstone of Yukon’s history, economy and culture.

The Yukon government’s commit-ment to Yukon’s mineral sector is strong and we are taking action to encourage exploration and invest-ment as the global mining sector grows.

The Yukon government is com-mitted to working with First Nations and the mineral development in-dustry to provide a more efficient regulatory regime and to develop a new Mineral Development Strat-egy. This will shape the course of mining in Yukon by setting out pri-orities that will strengthen the sector and secure our position as one of the world’s leading mining jurisdic-tions.

As a result of this work, Yukon will benefit through increased mineral exploration expenditures, maxi-mized employment and business opportunities, and a more sustain-able minerals sector.

Over the coming year, our work will help ensure that Yukon’s min-eral resources continue to be de-veloped in a way that benefits all its citizens while upholding our com-mitment to protecting the environ-ment and respecting the rights and traditions of First Nations.

We will continue to work together for the benefit of the industry, our economy and all Yukoners.

THIS PAST YEAR WAS CERTAINLY CHALLENGING for the Yukon Chamber of Mines and its membership. As an industry, we have faced and overcome many challenges throughout the years. As the respected voice of mining in the Yukon, representing a member-ship of over 400, YCM recognizes that challenging times also provide opportunities to plan for the future and position our jurisdiction for when global markets and mineral prices rebound.

The past year was also eventful. The Yukon Chamber of Mines attended Senate and Parliamentary hearings examining Bill S-6, the Government of Canada’s Northern Regulatory Improvement Act on improvements to the Yukon’s Envi-ronmental and Socio-Economic Assessment Act. YCM also lobbied on behalf of its membership on the Yukon Government’s Resource Access Roads Framework, Independent Power Producer Policy, and the Yukon Development Corporation’s plans for Next Generation Hydro.

Looking forward to 2015, YCM will continue lobbying for improvements to

the Yukon’s regulatory and permitting regimes through the Yukon Government’s Mine Licensing Improvement Initiative, as well as through the Mineral Develop-ment Strategy. YCM will also work in partnership with the Council of Yukon First Nations, the Government of Canada, and the Government of Yukon toward the production of a First Nations Engagement and Consultation Guidebook in order to provide insights and certainty when con-ducting activities on traditional territory.

On behalf of myself and the staff at YCM, we would like to take this opportunity to thank the membership, volunteers, sister organizations, and many others for their support as we work toward building on the Yukon’s competitive advantages and reputation as a progressive jurisdiction endowed with significant world-class deposits.

Sincerely,

Samson HartlandExecutive Director Yukon Chamber of Mines

What motivated you to start McWatters?There was a project that was of interest to the company I was working for at the time, but the company needed a partner. I said I could form a partner and lead it. It was not the standard way because I really started McWatters from scratch, so I had to form the corporation. I staked some claims, I raised money, I found shareholders, and I founded a company.

Why did you step away from McWatters in 2003?The company was in a very difficult situation and there was a need for someone else to take over. For five years I was able to bring new money in, bring in new investors, but you come to a point where the story isn’t working anymore. I had the impression that I’d done everything not only once but twice.

What encouraged you to move to the Yukon?I started looking for different things and saw an advertisement in The Globe and Mail for the Department of Economic Development with the Yukon government. They asked me to come for an interview, and I was hired.

Were you familiar with the Yukon?Not at all. I knew a lot about investment, how you build companies, develop proj-ects, run mines, and all of that. That year, 2003, was the year the Yukon got devo-lution and the Department of Economic Development was reborn, if you will. It was really starting up, and they were looking for people to lead new initiatives.

How did you transition fur-ther into the Yukon’s mining and exploration industry?The industry started to pick up more, and after four years [in govern-ment] I thought I had done what I could and was looking for a way to have more flexibility in my work.

I knew Dale Corman from my past work with Western Copper Corp., so he was interested to see what I could do to help the company establish itself in the Yukon. I worked for Western Copper for two years and then decided I wanted to work on many things. Right at that time I also went to sit on the board at the Yukon Chamber of Mines.

When I left Western Copper, in 2010, I went and formed my consult-ing company [Derome and Associ-ates] and put my name forward to be president of the Chamber.

What is it like working in dif-ferent facets of the industry?The government side was really fun because three weeks after I came here I was sent to China. We were looking for investment, and that was totally counter to what was going on. A lot of companies were going to China to build and invest in China, but we were going there to bring money to the Yukon. The Yukon was mostly junior—there were no big companies here—but it worked out. We were able to attract funding. Also, very early on we established a high-level relationship with the Chinese govern-ment because China was just opening and starting to invest abroad. Ten years later it’s totally different, but when we started it was still very closed. I was in the middle of all of that, so it was fun.

When I moved here there was no industry in the Yukon. It had died and exploration wasn’t really there yet, but everything was here to start again. I think devolution really brought the inter-est back for companies to come here. YESAB was also a great accomplishment compared to other jurisdictions. Brit-ish Columbia wasn’t the best place to put money at the time. The N.W.T. also wasn’t that great. It started slowly. I think when Sherwood Copper made the acquisition of Minto, and very quickly moved that project into production, that really changed the times here.

How do you think things have changed over the last five to ten years?It’s been a total change. You went from no mining activity to three mines in operation. I understand today we’re back to one, but … then there was the discovery made in the White Gold district. There was a real possibility to find a new deposit.

The Yukon had been really starved for exploration dollars since about the mid 1980s, so there was around 15 years of very low spending, but the technol-ogy in exploration had changed a lot. Companies that had worked elsewhere came here and were taking advan-tage of this new approach and made discoveries. It changed the game.

What are some crucial things that are happening now and need to continue to happen in the industry in the Yukon?Government systems are very rigid, so when we implemented all of these things the industry was still very malleable. Now that we’ve run through them for at least five or six years we’re finding we need to make some major adjust-ments. It’s difficult. It’s kind of set in

stone, so anything you want to do that needs regulatory or even legislative change is quite complex because it involves many orders of government.

The other thing is at the start of new exploration there was slack in the system in terms of enough spare energy and the roads and transportation system was good enough for what was on the books. But as soon as we added new things, new regions, new projects, and with the population growth, the slack in the system that had been there for 15 years was gobbled up in maybe two years.

Yes, it’s difficult, but I think White-horse has positioned itself—or it could if it really wished—to be a service centre, a hub for the northern region for anything that deals with resources, like environmental firms, engineering firms, professional ser-vices, food, and accommodations.

I think we should take this pause as an opportunity to patch the hole and build capacity for the next upturn, which is going to come.

What are your thoughts on the next five years?The market has shrunk and it’s not going at the same pace, but there are still billions of people who are working their way through middle class in Asia, South America, and Africa, so they all need the things that we do here. We’re really well positioned to provide that.

People say it’s boom and bust, but look at the manufacturing indus-try—it’s the same thing. The only thing that has stayed the course is government. There is a responsibil-ity for government planners to look 10, 15, 20 years down the road to be on the same timeline as the projects that are going to come on stream.

[The industry] doesn’t have the same life cycle, so it takes 10 years before you get to build, then it takes maybe three to four years to build the mine, and then you operate for 15 or 20 years. It’s very long, so you really have to plan for the long term.

If we want to get the Yukon over the hurdle, we really need to put the founda-tion in place to sustain growth over the long term, and we have the chance here to have significant, world-class projects that could be in operation for 30 or 40 years or more. That’s what we should be targeting, which means we have to have a solution for our energy. We need also to look at our transportation, roads, and provide an environment where there is a good life and people want to come and live here, where they can afford to buy a place, have a good educa-tion system—it all goes together.

ORIGINALLY FROM THE ABITIBI-TÉMISCAMINGUE region in Quebec, Claire Derome has over 30 years of experience in the mining and exploration industry. In 1994, she founded McWatters Mining Inc., in Montreal, Que., and remained with the company as president and CEO until 2003. She was considered one of the highest-level female mining executives in North America.

Shortly after, in 2006, she came to the Yukon to work with the Govern-ment of Yukon’s Department of Economic Development. She later held positions as executive director of the Yukon Placer Secretariat, vice-president of community and government relations with Western Copper Corp., and president of the Yukon Chamber of Mines (YCM). Derome was awarded the 2011 YCM Member Award for her work in the industry, as well as the Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal, in 2012.

She currently works as mining lead and business associate with PROLOG Canada Inc. and runs Derome and Associates, a consulting busi-ness that explores socio-economic aspects of project development and management.

Derome sat down with YMED editor Tara McCarthy to share how she got involved in the industry, how she has seen it grow in the Yukon, and where

she sees it going from here.

What attracted you to mining and exploration?When I decided I was going to university, I looked at what was offered and saw a very interesting program at UQAM [Université du Québec, in Montreal] that was a mix of biology and geology. I thought, That’s great—two things I know nothing about.

There were some foundational courses during the first semester about how the planet was formed, about rocks, and all kinds of things that I found really fascinating, so I decided to switch to hardrock geology.

What happened during your studies?I started to work in the summers as a geologi-cal assistant in exploration programs, and even before I finished my undergraduate degree, the industry was booming. I was asked by one of the companies in Abitibi to work for them, so I made an arrangement with my professors to take supervisory courses.

What was it like for you to build a career in the industry?I found out very quickly as a geologist that there’s work one year and then maybe no work the next. I went through a period where I was laid off because exploration just dropped and projects didn’t go on. So I started different kinds of businesses, but I always kept tied to exploration. Then, things started to pick up a bit, and I was offered an opportunity with one of my business partners to be involved in a public exploration company. I learned how to do it by doing it.

THE BUSINESS OF MINING AND EXPLORATIONQ&A WITH CLAIRE DEROME


WHEN ALLISON RIPPIN ARMSTRONG talks about her work in the Yukon mining industry, it can sound a lot like dating advice.

“You don’t want to rush into things,” she explains, describing her approach to working with Yukon First Nations. “You have to get to know each other first and what is important to each of you. And then, when the time is right, you talk about what the benefits of going into a more meaningful relationship could be.”

Armstrong is vice-president of lands and environment for Kaminak Gold Corporation. The company’s Coffee Gold project is located in central Yukon, in an area where three different First Nation traditional territories overlap. After almost 20 years of working in the northern mining sector, she’s found the ticket to productive working relationships with First Nations is more about listening and understanding individual needs than anything else. It’s a time-consuming and possibly unconventional approach, but in a territory where relationships between the mining industry, First Nations, and the Yukon government can be described as rocky, the success Kaminak is experiencing is proof it’s worth it.

Over the past few years, there has been a growing interest in the mining sector around the concept of securing a “social license to operate”—essentially, informal approval or support of a com-

munity—as part of project planning. But unlike other steps in the project-planning process, getting a social license is more than just ticking off a box, cautions Armstrong.

“It’s not a formula. It’s about people talking to people and forming a relationship. Just by using that terminology—‘a social license’—it makes it sound like a formal process that you can follow, but every relationship is different. Every First Nation is different. The people within the organization are different, too.”

For Armstrong, involving First Nations from the very begin-ning is critical and ensures everyone understands what’s happen-ing and what’s important from the ground up. They need to be part of the project design and participate in studies and design decisions.

As a first step, there is a growing industry focus on developing upfront agreements on the impacts and benefits of communica-tion and engagement. These are increasingly important for ensur-ing transparency, explains Loralee Johnstone, vice-president of permitting and community affairs for JDS Silver Inc., a company that has a few projects underway in the territory.

“The Yukon is a very small place, and anything you say or do, people are going to talk about it,” she says. “It is really important

to be open and put everything out on the table so people see how the process and the business side of things works.”

Johnstone grew up in the Yukon and knows the territory. Before starting with JDS three years ago, she worked for the Yukon Envi-ronmental and Socio-economic Assessment Board. Over the past decade, she’s observed a change in how First Nations and mining companies interact.

“Ten years ago, everyone was just learning how to engage. But now, First Nations understand what mining is about and compa-nies are getting better about finding people who specialize in the field of engagement.”

And hiring people like Johnstone who understands the commu-nity landscape is key to building the relationships that can unlock individual First Nation interests and lead to formal agreements.

“These agreements are becoming the norm, and companies should be concerned about moving ahead without one,” says Johnstone. “It gives everyone certainty around expectations and the security that there is a process in place.”

Taking the time to find out what the needs of the First Nation are, and not assume it is just jobs and training, can sometimes lead to surprising outcomes.

In 2013, Kaminak signed an exploration cooperation agreement with the Tr’ondëk Hwëch’in that sets the foundation for their relationship. This agreement outlines how the two organizations will work together, but also sets the stage for other partnerships and opportunities. Tr’ohude: Working Well Together, a collabora-tive project between Kaminak and Tr’ondëk Hwëch’in’s heritage department, is one of them.

“Most companies don’t ever get to the point of talking to our department,” explains Jody Beaumont, traditional knowledge specialist with Tr’ondëk Hwëch’in. “Mostly it is at the level of economic development, but that doesn’t always flow into broader community needs and interests.”

Tr’ondëk Hwëch’in’s heritage department has a list of things they want to accomplish that’s a kilometre long, but they don’t always have the money, admits Beaumont. When Kaminak approached her to find out what the department’s priority projects were, she had a ready answer.

As a result of that exchange, Kaminak is supporting a study that explores the community’s worldview, traditional concepts of land use, and decision-making processes, and integrating these into a modern context. The results will be shared on an interactive web-site that can be used by everyone looking to work with the First Nation—from educators and researchers to industry and other governments. Beaumont says while Kaminak will get value from the final product, the real value will be for Tr’ondëk Hwëch’in, who will use this resource for years to come.

“It’s one thing to get training and get a job when there is a boom, but it might also be good to have something that can be a legacy, that will carry on beyond the sunset of a mine,” says Beaumont.

Armstrong points out that it’s the idea of reciprocity that’s important.

“When you think about it, the best relationships we have in our lives are those built on trust, honesty, respect, and mutual understanding,” she says. “If you think about it like that, and you approach building a relationship with a community or a First Nation like that, I think you can’t go wrong.” A

ORIGINALLY FROM DEUX-MONTAGNES, QUE., VALÉRIE PELLERIN came to the Yukon roughly four years ago after spending time travelling. After arriv-ing, she staked several gold claims in the territory. “I’ve always been fas-cinated by geology, but when I got here, to Whitehorse, I realized I really needed to study geology in order to find gold on my claims,” she explains.

In 2013, those interests motivated her to register as a student in the Geological Technology Program at Yukon College, an offering through the Centre for Northern Innovation in Mining.

When YMED editor Tara McCarthy caught up with Pellerin earlier this year, she was completing her final few months of the program. She’d also just been named a recipient of the 2015 Kaminak Geological Technology Program Student Award.

Pellerin talked about her experience as a student and worker in the Yukon’s mining and exploration industry.

What brought you to the Yukon?I don’t know. [Laughs.] I’m still not sure what I’m doing here, apart from the geology aspect. I was actually in Argentina before moving here, and I was planning on staying there for at least a year. A friend of mine had been living [in the Yukon] for 10 years, and she was saying good things about the territory.

I really enjoy the Yukon, even though I’m not a huge fan of the winter. It is the best place to learn about geol-ogy, that’s for sure. And this program is super technical, but we learn a lot and we have quality instructors.

What were you hoping to gain from the program?At the beginning, it was really just to be more knowledgeable as a prospector. Now, it’s been two years and I’m thinking about continuing my studies and pursuing my geol-ogy degree. I love it. I really do.

I didn’t really know what to expect, and I hadn’t been to school in years, so it was kind of tough for me at the beginning to come back to school. I’m surprised by how much we learn here. I’m surprised by all the oppor-tunities that are ahead of us.

Has it heightened your interest in the field?It definitely has. First of all, we have the opportunity in the Yukon to study in a school where there are not a lot of students in the class, so we get a semi-private teaching experience. And the instructors are awesome. They’re very knowledgeable, and there has been a lot of money put into this program specifi-cally, so we have all sorts of equipment to crush the rocks and examine them.

What is the close-knit student environment like?There are eight of us, and we’re like a family. You would think there would be some competition between us because there are so few of us, but we’re all aiming for the same things and there’s no competi-tion at all. Everyone gets along.

There is a student from China, some people from Vancouver, a student from the Philippines—it’s an interesting mix.

What are the courses like?It goes all the way to the beginning, from when the Earth began. We learn about the processes that brought the rocks up to the surface and the processes that are still going on under the surface. We learn about the mining industry itself, about ore deposits, the chemistry of rocks, petrology, which is basically looking under a microscope to see what is in the rocks—all sorts of things. It’s amazing.

Is there a standout course for you?I think it would be the ore-deposit class that we had last year and the mining-industry class. Geology is pretty broad, but those classes made me realize that I want to work in the mining industry; I want to work with ore deposits, which is more specific.

We learned about all the pro-cesses that help bring up all the ore deposits and how they form because they don’t form in the same manner as some other things.

How are you applying your studies practically?In the summer of 2014, I had the chance to work for Capstone Mining Corp. at the Minto Mine, which was an amazing experience. I learned so much. When you’re at school you learn a lot, but it’s not much of a hands-on experience. At Minto, I worked for the whole summer, and all that I learned in school I could apply. And the people at Minto were awesome, very knowledgeable, and they all shared their knowledge with me and took the time to show me how things work. It was a perfect experience.

You learn lots of things and it is all in your head somewhere, but when you have the opportunity to finally apply it … like to core log, for example. We’ve learned how to core log, to look at a drill core and tell what is in it and what might have happened, but having the chance to do it for a real company was awesome. And the fact that Minto trusted me to do that kind of job was really rewarding.

What were you doing for Capstone at the Minto Mine?I was hired as a student geologist. I did a bunch of stuff. I was first hired to

work on a project dealing with partially oxidized material. I did some core log-ging [and] pit-wall inspections, looked at a lot of rocks, [and] did some modeling on computers and things like that.

How was it different to come back to Yukon Col-lege after that experience?I really gained confidence, that’s for sure. I got back from Minto and thought, This is really what I want to do. And it’s nice here in the Yukon. It’s not like there are 50 people applying for the same job, so we get a lot of good opportuni-ties. I had one. It made me realize I really want to work in this industry—not only for my own gold claims, but just working in geology is amazing.

What is it like to be a woman in the mining industry?There are more and more women in the mining industry, but there definitely are a lot more men. This summer, the people who I worked with [at Minto] were about 80 percent men and 20 percent women. I felt like I had to build my reputation, be strong, and show who I am. But at the same time, I think because I am a woman I can bring something else to the industry. It made me stronger.

Have you done much more with your gold claims?I would like to, but I was so busy at Minto last summer. We worked on a two-week-in, two-week-out basis, and I did a lot of overtime, so I didn’t really have the time to work on my gold claims. But that is my goal for this summer.

What are your other goals from here?I don’t know yet. [Laughs.] I’m still thinking about further pursuing my studies, or if I get a good job opportunity I might take it. We learn a lot of things in two years, but it is considered a three-year degree. So, if I’m offered a job I might take it, but I also enjoy studying. However, if I do want to continue to pursue my degree I’ll have to move out of the Yukon, unfortunately, and I don’t know if I’m ready for that. A

Mining History

REPURPOSING A MINING LEGACYA LOOK AT THE PAST AND PRESENT OF MONTANA MOUNTAINBy Kelly Milner

MONTANA MOUNTAIN LOOMS LARGE in the Yukon’s history. At the turn of the last century it almost displaced Dawson City as the centre of mining for the territory. Although much of that history has been forgotten, Montana Mountain and its mining past are finding new significance today.

To local First Nation people, Montana Mountain was known as Chilih Dzéle’, or Gopher Mountain, and has a prominent place in their stories and legends. In 1899, a prospector named William Young staked the Montana Claim—named after his home state—on the mountain above the small town of Carcross. From then on, all maps showed it as Montana Mountain.

The claim was purchased the following year by a group of prospecting partners who then staked more claims in the area. The activity caught the attention of John Conrad, an American mining promoter and businessperson who raised the capital to purchase and consolidate all the existing claims on the mountain.

In 1905, Conrad constructed a state-of-the-art tramway running eight kilometres from the shores of Windy Arm to the Mountain Hero claim. By August of that year, tunnels dug deep into the mountain began pulling out

high-grade silver ore. Within weeks, the next big mining stampede was on, with Montana Mountain at the centre.

“Samples of ore from [a few] rich pockets, combined with the enthusiasm and promotional ability of Colonel Conrad, caused fortunes to trade hands daily at the height of the Windy Arm stampede,” writes Murray Lundberg in his book, Fractured Veins and Broken Dreams: Montana Mountain and the Windy Arm Stampede.

Mining claims were staked up and down the steep mountains surrounding Windy Arm, and mining trails began crisscrossing the area. Conrad City sprung up at the base of the tramline. In less than a year, it was a bustling town with a hospital, two churches, a newspaper office, and 23 businesses, including hotels, restaurants, hardware stores, bathhouses, and dance halls.

However, it wasn’t long before the bubble burst. Some of John Conrad’s investors hired renowned geologist J.B. Tyrrell to evaluate the claims on Montana Mountain in the fall of 1906. After visiting the area and conduct-ing his assessment, Tyrrell determined the claims were worthless. Once his report was released, funding to the

« Reminders of mining activity are still found on Montana Mountain.

mines dried up and prospectors moved on. Work on the mountain slowed, and by 1910 the town was deserted.

“Although Conrad City has virtu-ally vanished, most of the tramway stands remain, much of the mining equipment sits rusting where it was abandoned, and only ice caps many of the workings from which came the reports that, in the end, were too good to be true,” concludes Lundberg.

But not everyone gave up. Mining activity continued, including the construction of a concentrator for the Venus Mine, which still stands near the South Klondike Highway. Both the Venus and the Big Thing mines were briefly reopened in the 1970s. The last mining activity on the mountain was a small-scale operation in the 1980s.

In 2005, the Carcross/Tagish First Nation finalized their land-claim agree-ment and large blocks of Montana Mountain became their land again. Tourism and recreation are key economic interests of the First Nation, and the old mining trails on Montana Moun-tain—many built on old First Nation trading and hunting trails—provided a great opportunity. Working with local mountain bikers, the First Nation began the Carcross Singletrack to Success Project (S2S), a program that employs local youth and teaches them the fine art of mountain-bike-trail construction.

“The mining legacy on Montana Moun-tain dates back to a time when Carcross/Tagish people didn't have agency over their lands and resources,” explains Justin Ferbey, CEO of the Carcross/Tagish Management Corporation. “Today, much of the mountain is settlement land, and we've restored some of those historic trails to attract hikers and mountain bikers. I suppose you could say we’re using what’s left from a historic mining stampede to help generate a modern-day stampede of tourism and economic development in our community.”

To date, the program has constructed over 35 kilometres of hand-built and restored singletrack trails on the moun-tain. In 2013, the area was listed by Out-side magazine as one of the top mountain-biking destinations in North America. And while stunning views and remote trails are the big attractions, the region’s mining history adds a unique element.

“The mountain is a treasure trove of historic sites and artifacts,” says Jane Koepke, who has been leading the S2S trail crew since the program began. “Each year, we make another discovery on the mountain, like another section of wagon road, old cabins, abandoned sledges—you name it! The crew is liter-ally bringing some of that history back to life, restoring old trails and giving visitors a direct window into a forgot-ten era in Yukon mining history.” A

THE TERRITORY HAS A LONG HISTORY

in mining and exploration, and many

of the museums in the Yukon highlight

the places, people, and equipment used

during the early years. Here are several

spots where you can explore the past.

Copperbelt Railway & Mining MuseumWhere: Alaska Highway, Whitehorse.What: Run by the Miles Canyon Historic Railway Society, this museum highlights the White Pass & Yukon Route’s role in the mining industry from the 1890s to the present day, as well as copper mining in Whitehorse’s Copperbelt area. Check out old cans, bottles, clothing, and other items related to mining’s early days, along with railway tools and machin-ery like dredge buckets and railcars used for transporting miners in and out of mines. Explore exhibits dedicated to 100 years of hardrock mining and the Pueblo mining disaster.When: May through to September.

Dawson City MuseumWhere: Fifth Avenue, Dawson City.What: Housed in the Old Territorial Administration Building, this museum features the one of the largest histori-cal collections in the Yukon. Find out about the natural history of the Klondike Goldfields, look at photos of small mining operations in the region, delve into the history of the Hän people and early explorers in the Klondike, and read stories about the discovery of gold at Bonanza Creek.When: May through to September.

Keno City Mining MuseumWhere: Jackson Hall, Keno City.What: Considering this area’s rich gold- and silver-mining history, it makes sense this is where you’ll find what is argu-ably the territory’s best mining museum. Built in the 1920s, Keno City’s old community centre, named Jackson Hall, is now home to a wide range of photos, tools, memorabilia, and equipment, like a wooden rocker box with mesh screens and a rake made from nails, scrap iron, and lumber. Displays throughout the museum are packed with authentic artifacts. The exhibits tell the stories of those living an isolated life in the small mining communities of Elsa and Keno City.When: May through to September.

MacBride Museum of Yukon HistoryWhere: Front Street, Whitehorse.What: Take the time to look through the artifacts, docu-ments, and photographs that explore everything from early prospecting and the Klondike Gold Rush, through to the rise of Whitehorse in the 1950s, in the Gold to Govern-ment Gallery at this museum. Check out what’s on display in an old-fashioned confectionary and the 1898 Miner’s Saloon. There’s also a replica North-West Mounted Police cabin that shows what life was like for those keeping law and order during the gold rush. Various displays explain the different mining techniques used to gather placer gold, and you can even get an up-close look at Engine 51, which transported stampeders from the Alaskan coast to the territory on the White Pass & Yukon Route.When: All year-round.

PART OF THE ANNUAL YUKON CHAM-BER OF MINES’ GEOSCIENCE FORUM AND TRADE SHOW is focused on hon-ouring individuals and companies in the mining and exploration industry for their contributions throughout the territory. An awards banquet was held in Whitehorse at the Kwanlin Dün Cultural Centre during the 42nd annual event, in November 2014.

The Yukon Chamber of Mines Member Award went to Casino Mining Corpora-tion, a wholly owned subsidiary of Western Copper and Gold Corporation. Its flagship property is the Casino copper-gold-molybdenum-silver deposit in the Dawson Gold Belt, in west-central Yukon. Casino Mining Corporation was recognized for its work in environmental protec-tion practices, principles of responsible development, and effective and respectful engagement with First Nations partners.

The Yukon Chamber of Mines Com-munity Award went to Kaminak Gold Corporation for its advancement of a sustainable and responsible Yukon mining industry. Kaminak was recog-

nized for its commitment to maximizing opportunities with local stakeholders and ongoing engagement efforts.

The Yukon Prospectors Association bestowed Ed Balon and Mike Hamilton with the Prospector of the Year award. Association president Mike Power said the two prospectors “set the stage for a lot of mining exploration and develop-ment that happens today.” During the 1970s, Balon and Hamilton were instru-mental in discovering the Goz Creek, Logtung, and Midway deposits, which all led to extensive mineral claims.

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. GroundTruth Exploration Inc. received the 2014 Leckie Award for Excellence in Environmental Steward-ship in Quartz Mining for its use of state-of-the-art technology, and Sä Dena Hes Operating Corporation received the 2014 Leckie Award for Responsible and

Innovative Mining Practice for its work toward the permanent closure of the Sä Dena Hes mine site, including the removal of the mill and camp and reclamation of waste-rock storage, tailings management facilities, and mine entrances. Fell-Hawk Placers received the 2014 Leckie Award for Environmental Stewardship in Placer Mining. The company committed to the highest operational standards for water conveyance structures, new roads and trails, camp construction, and final reclamation of the Ballarat Creek site. Honourable mention was also given to Chevron Canada Resources for the reha-bilitation work the company undertook at the Crest Iron project in the Peel region.

The awards are in remembrance of Robert E. Leckie, a Mayo mining inspector and innovator dedicated to the develop-ment of progressive land-use practices.

The 43rd Geoscience Forum & Trade Show will be held Nov. 14–18, 2015, in Whitehorse. A

GOING GREENINTEREST IN GREEN-MINING TECHNOLOGIES and practices is growing across Canada. However, the Yukon’s challenging climate, limited access, and high operating costs require innova-tive thinking in order to go green. Yukon College’s Research Chair in Mine Life Cycle, Dr. Amelie Janin, is developing projects that explore the challenges and opportunities for greening the northern mining industry.

Through the Yukon Research Centre, she has assembled teams who are working in two areas of applied research: improving northern mining water management and treatment and reclaiming land contaminated or damaged by mining activities. Here’s a quick look at what they’re up to:

HARDY BACTERIAOne way pollutants can be removed from a contaminated site is by using other organisms to break them down into less harmful substances—a process called bioremediation. However, there are few examples of this type of waste management working in the North. Dr. Janin and her team have come up with various com-binations of nutrients and substrates found locally that, when put together, create environments for breaking down toxic mate-rials. These combinations have been tested in the lab and in the field over an entire year to see how they perform under different environmental conditions. So far the results are promising.

Dr. Janin’s team has partnered with four Yukon mining companies on this project: Alexco Environmental Group, Capstone Mining Corporation, Victoria Gold Corporation, and Yukon Zinc Corporation. The research results could help inform future mining-waste-management programs.

WORKING WETLANDSWetlands in warmer climates are known for their ability to remove heavy metals from contaminated areas. Northern wetland plant species have not been tested to see if they’re capable of doing the same thing. Last summer, Casino Mining Corporation partnered with Dr. Janin and other researchers to explore how well different northern wetland plant species are up to the task. To do this, they built functioning wetlands within their lab at Yukon College out of locally sourced plants and soils.

Over three months, contaminated water is pumped through these constructed wetlands and monitored. At the end of the three months, the plants are tested to see how much of the metals have accumulated in them. This informa-tion will help Casino’s closure and reclamation plan, as well as other similar mining projects in the future. A

THE YUKON CHAMBER OF MINES' annual Yukon Mining & Geology Week event highlights the important role that mining, metals, and minerals play in our lives. Youth in the territory get a taste of the industry by participating in the Exploration & Discovery Camp at Shipyards Park, in Whitehorse. A

MINING & GEOLOGY WEEKPhotos by GBP Creative


WHETHER CORPORATE, COMMERCIAL, OR INDUSTRIAL SITUATIONS, Cathie Archbould has shot it all. She describes her work as a “study in extremes,” capturing environmental portraiture to industrial landscapes, and everything in between. As one of the ter-ritory's most sought after photographers, she has been documenting the North for over 20 years, providing images to inter-national newspapers and magazines, as well as corporate and government clients. And she’s no stranger to the Yukon’s mining and exploration sector. Archbould has been photographing the industry for years, travel-ling by land, air, and water to witness life on the job in all four corners of the Yukon. Visit www.archbould.com for more images.

Exploring the industry through the lens of photographer Cathie ArchbouldII Photos and captions by Cathie Archbould II

On the Ground and in the Air

Inside the Industry

» “This photo was taken while waiting for enough light before the pilot and I could head off for a day of aerial shots. Once we were in the air, we flew over spectacular views of feeding caribou herds and moose.”



» “I've photographed these dredge tailings in Dawson from both the ground and air. During this trip, the yellow willows that rim the ponds and the blue water really made the tailings stand out.”

» “The pilot and I took to the sky at first light to catch the sunrise and spotted the barge used to shuttle workers across the Yukon River just before it docked.”

Inside the Industry

» “Aside from the drilling crew, my only neighbours were mountain sheep. I love the scale of the drill in the backdrop against the size of the mountains across the valley. Showing location and extreme conditions is often what aerial photos are about.”

« “While photographing the Whitehorse wind turbines from overhead, the pilot took a wide bank to come in on a low angle, and that’s when these amazing fall colours in a nearby valley came into view.”

» “This image always reminds me of picking up the wet and tired drilling crew that day. It was after I had finished taking aerials shots and listening through my headset to the pilot describe details of the full turkey dinner that the camp cook had waiting for them! This was one of the last images I shot before the approaching rainstorm hit hard.”
