North Rackla is doomed Yukon Mines Minister John Streicker told Thursday’s briefing that the Yukon government had sought more information from the Na-Cho Nyak Dun First Nation, whose territory the mine is on, about their call for a mining moratorium on their lands.
“I don’t speak for the First Nation, but I will share our understanding that following the heap leach failure, the First Nation of Na-Cho Nyak Dun does not want any new mineral claims, licenses, exploration, development authorizations or ongoing mining activities on their traditional territory,” Streicker said.
