The Yukon Exploration and Geology (YEG) volumes include two publications: Yukon Exploration and Geology Overview, and Yukon Exploration and Geology Technical Papers. These key annual publications from the Yukon Geological Survey (Energy, Mines and Resources, Government of Yukon) highlight geoscience research and activities across the Yukon from the previous year. The YEG Overview includes four papers that provide summaries of the Yukon Geological Survey’s staff activities, as well as exploration and development overviews for both the hardrock and placer industries in the Yukon. The YEG Technical Papers volume contains a number of current research reports on various geoscience projects across the territory. The YEG Overview is available in digital format and in a limited colour print run. The YEG Technical Papers volume is available in digital format only. All Yukon Geological Survey publications can be downloaded from our website, https://data.geology.gov.yk.ca/.
As in previous volumes, YEG 2024 aims to provide the most up-to-date information on mining and mineral exploration activity in the Yukon, both in the hardrock and placer sectors. The success of YEG relies on the continued contributions from prospectors, exploration and government geologists, mining companies, and academic students, all of whom are willing to contribute to public geoscience for the benefit of the scientific community, the public, and the mineral industry of the Yukon. Their work is greatly appreciated.
More importantly, I would like to acknowledge the support from our 14 Yukon First Nation partners whose lands and traditional territories we continue to work on. The mining industry and the valuable geoscience data that is gathered would not happen without their engagement and support. We look forward to strengthening and fostering honest and meaningful partnerships with all Yukon First Nations.
