Description

The Yukon Mining Assessment Report Footprints database contains more than 7,500 reports documenting mineral exploration activity in Yukon since the 1950s. The majority of these records are open to the public; more recent reports are confidential. Each record in this database represents a report, with the polygon geometry representing the area where work was performed. Key information about these reports has been captured, such as report number, title, author, year, claims, property name, expenditures, as well as a hyperlink to the scanned report, and it's associated data. The intended audience for this data set is mining companies, prospectors, land use planners, First Nations, regulators, Yukon Environmental and Socio-Economic Assessment Board, Yukon Geological Survey and Yukon Government.
