Mining
Education & Outreach Resources
This presentation is focused on financial, not environmental, impacts - what happens when a mining company can't pay the bills? Who's on the hook for the cleanup? Which Yukon mines are currently abandoned or in danger of it? And what can concerned citizens do?
Infographics are a powerful tool to educate the public on key issues and translate knowledge. The following resource was created to raise awareness about the proposed Casino mine.
The following information sheet was created by the Kaska Faro Secretariat, Government of Yukon and the Canadian government to provide a brief history of the Faro Mine and outline plans for the Remediation project.
When there is a need, YCS also writes press releases and speaks to the media about issues of concern that arise. Such as to raise awareness on when a mine may not be meeting its licensing requirements.
When a new mining project is being proposed, we provide analysis and background so that people are informed about all the potential issues to consider (such as tailings, dams and failures) surrounding a project. This presentation was created in 2016 but much of the information is still relevant and informative.
