We are developing a web page that helps explain how mineral development is regulated. We are also helping inform municipalities on how they can manage mineral exploration and mining activities within their boundaries. These processes are informed by the public engagement held in the autumn of 2022. The engagement included community meetings, an online survey and consultation with First Nations governments.
We’re in the process of developing the Mineral Staking and Development Framework for mining in communities. The framework suggests approaches to:
- prevent and resolve land use conflicts between mining operations and Yukon communities;
- improve coordination between community land use planning and mineral regulatory processes; and
- find ways for mining activities within Yukon communities to respect community values and interests.
Your input is helping inform municipalities on how to manage mineral exploration within their boundaries.
