General Information
Abstract: 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.
