here is what Yukon mining thinks
Mining industry says timelines “unrealistic”
Ed Peart is president of the Yukon Chamber of Mines (YCM), which advocates for mining in the territory.
YCM provided several recommendations to the MDS, which Peart says he’s concerned are not being listened to.
“We do feel (the mining) industry was maybe left a little bit behind in most of the recommendations,” he says.
A prime example of this would be the timelines presented in the final draft report, which Peart says are “unrealistic.”
Peart says the MDS’ recommendation to amend the Quartz and Placer acts in two to three years “is not going to happen.”
With other Yukon regional land use plans like the historic Peel watershed taking 15 years to complete, Peart says “We don’t feel the timelines associated were proper.”
While the document does delve into royalties which includes reasonable financial profits for First Nations and Yukoners on mining and exploration projects, Peart says it’s not extensive enough.
“That document did not display royalties properly. To leave that out of a document, a public document, I would venture to say it’s not only not right, but it would be irresponsible,” he says.
Peart says the YCM is also worried about the MDS’ recommendation to dip into the Yukon Resource Gateway Project’s funding.
“That money exists for Gateway and it’s very important. That money is meant for the advancement of that project to help unlock the potential of those areas in the Yukon,” he says.
“Our perspective is it’s time to get that Resource Gateway Project going, and we don’t think it’s the right use of that money to divert it from that project to land use planning.”
Peart says if the draft document goes ahead without taking the YCM’s suggestions into consideration, “it’s going to be challenging for industry and mining if it goes through as is.”
they just wake up sleeping Yukon Business Industry from mining to air to every other .
