Placer districts across the Yukon yielded strong production this season as a result of favourable conditions. A continued rise in gold prices and stable fuel prices were complemented by mild temperatures that allowed for an extended sluicing season. As of November 10, 2023, the 146 active placer operations in the Yukon had collectively generated $143.7M in production revenue. The Dawson Mining District was the primary contributor to gold production, accounting for 89% of the total production for the Yukon. The Mayo Mining District followed with a 7% contribution and Whitehorse Mining District reported 4% of the overall production.
