Invest Yukon: Unlocking the Mining Potential of the North

October 27, 2023

A Rich Territory Primed for Modern Exploration and Critical Metals Extraction

The Yukon is a significant location for the mining sector due to its rich mineral resources and favourable conditions for exploration and development. While mining has been carried out in the Yukon for over a century, modern techniques such as remote sensing and geophysics have not been fully utilized. Many companies are now focusing on critical metals rather than traditional gold or silver mining. The Yukon is an attractive jurisdiction for mining due to its small population, extensive mining history, and supportive government and local communities. The region also offers good infrastructure, comparable to some areas in the United States. Working with local communities and First Nations provides valuable insights and benefits for mining projects. The Yukon government is supportive of mineral exploration and offers incentive programs and a wealth of geological information. Applying modern exploration techniques to the underexplored Yukon has led to significant discoveries in recent years. The northern region, including the Yukon, is seen as open and favourable for business, and initiatives like Invest Canada North help spread this message. The Yukon possesses the necessary minerals, jurisdiction, political stability, workforce, and infrastructure to meet the world's development needs.
