New branches will focus on major mine projects, exploration
The Yukon government announced this week it is splitting the mines part of the Department of Energy, Mines and Resources into two new branches: major mines and mineral exploration.
It said the goal is to make the territory more “competitive, predictable and attractive” for mining investors.
A new major mines and technical services division will focus on guiding mining companies – especially those with large projects – through the permitting process.
