Assay Coupon Program

The Assay Coupon Program promotes and supports grassroots mineral prospecting and exploration activities in the territory.

Prospectors can receive coupons towards the cost of an assay or analysis. Each prospector can receive up to ten coupons worth a maximum of $30 each. Each coupon is good for 50 per cent of an assay costing up to $60.

The Assay Coupon Program complements the government's Yukon Mining Incentive Program (YMIP) by supporting prospectors who do not apply or qualify for YMIP.

It also provides assistance to YMIP applicants who do additional exploration outside of their approved programs.
