Yukon Placer Mining Regime
A new, integrated framework to manage Yukon placer mining developed in cooperation by three levels of government has been endorsed by Archie Lang, Yukon Minister of Energy, Mines and Resources; Eric Morris, Grand Chief of the Council of Yukon First Nations; and Geoff Regan, federal Minister of Fisheries and Oceans. The new regime is the result of a unique process, in which the Yukon, First Nations and Canadian governments agreed in May 2003 to develop a regime that would "recognize the importance of a sustainable placer industry to the Yukon and the importance of conservation of fish and fish habitat supporting fisheries."
