Yukon Exploration and Geology (YEG) is the main publication of the Yukon Geology Program (Indian and Northern Affairs Canada and Yukon Government). This is the 25th volume of the YEG series, and marks a special year, since this is the tenth anniversary of the Yukon Geology Program. The volume contains up-to-date information on mining and mineral exploration activity, studies by industry, and results of recent geological field studies. Information in this volume comes from prospectors, exploration and government geologists, mining companies and students who are willing to collectively benefit the Yukon's mineral industry. Their assistance and patience is sincerely appreciated.
The 2002 volume has four parts. The first Mineral Industry includes overviews of mining and exploration in the Territory, as well as prospecting activity documented as part of the Yukon Mining Incentives Program. The second part Government outlines the activities and organization of the Yukon Geology Program, and includes announcements of the fourth Mining Land Use Reclamation Awards, the Robert E. Leckie Awards. The third part Geological Fieldwork contains reports describing regional mapping, and more detailed geoscience studies. The last part Property Descriptions is a collection of geological reports of mineral occurrences with recent exploration advances or detailed studies, and is authored by industry and government geologists, as well as university students.
