Coal
The administration of coal projects in the Yukon is governed under the Territorial Lands (Yukon) Act (TLYA) and the Coal Regulation enabled under the TLYA. The land use permits necessary for coal exploration and development are issued by the Energy Mines and Resources Lands Branch under the TLYA. The remaining coal licenses, coal claims and coal leases are issued and administered by the Mineral Resources Branch Mining Lands offices. The operating criteria for coal exploration projects are subject to the TLYA Land Use Regulation.
Dredging
Dredging activites are most often associated with placer mining. Dredging involves the recovery of gold and silver from the submerged bed of a river or other water body. The
Dredging regulation is administered by the Mineral Resources Branch Mining Lands offices.
