Major Mine Licensing - Brewery Creek
The Brewery Creek mine was operated from 1997 to 2001 and was the largest lode gold mine ever constructed in the Yukon. The Brewery Creek mine property consists of 801 claims with leases covering 16,160 hectares located 55 km east of Dawson City, Yukon. It was a year-round heap leach operation with a seasonal open-pit mining capacity of 11,000 tonnes of ore per day.
Alexco Resources Incorporated took over ownership of the Brewery Creek mine in 2005. The company is now responsible for completing the reclamation and closure activities for the mine. The majority of these activities are near completion and reclamation efforts have been very successful to date.
