Government of Yukon supports park planning by establishing new protections for the McIntyre Creek area
Published 18/04/2023The Government of Yukon is protecting the McIntyre Creek area from additional mineral staking and land development.
Today, the Yukon government amended a prohibition of entry order under the Quartz Mining Act to expand the boundary of an existing staking ban. As a result, no new quartz mineral claims in the McIntyre Creek area will be permitted. In addition, a new administrative land reserve was established to protect the area from new land disposition while providing flexibility for responsible land-use decision making.
