The Yukon government amended the Quartz Mining Act and the Placer Mining Actin December 2013, to establish the authority to designate areas where government notification of Class 1 exploration activities is required. Before these amendments to the mining acts and regulation came into effect,...

The Yukon Geological Survey (YGS) has compiled over 195 surficial geology maps into a standardized GIS format, providing approximately 80% coverage of the territory. The maps range in scales from 1:250,000 to 1:10,000 with spatial overlap between scales. The original maps were produced by various...

Yukon Energy Corporation (YEC) Power Lines distribute electrical power from Power Generating Stations to Power Substations. This data was provided by YEC and will be updated when new power lines are constructed. Distributed from GeoYukon by the Government of Yukon . Discover more digital map data...

This feature delineates forest and vegetation stands in the Yukon at a scale of 1:5,000. It is an operational level forest inventory (as opposed to a management level). This inventory has been completed in various stages, between 2013 and 2014, and delineation via softcopy from stereo images...

Geotechnical data comes from investigations performed by geotechnical engineers to obtain information on the physical properties of soil and rock underlying a site for proposed structures. The investigations include surface exploration and subsurface exploration of a site. In addition, site...

This annotation displays air photo centre point numbers. The associated air photos from these flight lines are used in the interpretation of the Forest Inventory polygon feature. The annotation is at a fixed scale, and is designed to be optimally displayed at a 1:50,000 scale.

A wide range of different territorial, federal, and first nation governments have a role in monitoring water. The water monitoring sites data set compiles these varied sources into a single source with the intent to provide a 'one-stop shop' when searching for water monitoring data. Information...

Locations of Forest Management Branch Permanent Sample Plots. The plots are measured every 5 years to compile growth and yield information across the many forest types and regions of the Yukon. Distributed from GeoYukon by the Government of Yukon . Discover more digital map data and interactive...

The Placer Mining Land Use Regulations consist of a classification system based on varying levels of specific activities. These threshold levels categorize exploration activities into four classes of operation. Classes 1 through 4 represent activities with increasing potential to cause adverse...

This map of the total magnetic field was derived from data acquired during an aeromagnetic survey carried out by EON Geosciences Inc. in the period between April 10, 2009 and September 16, 2009. The data were recorded using split-beam cesium vapour magnetometers (sensitivity =0.005 nT) mounted in...
