Environmental stewardship, social responsibility and leadership in community engagement recognized

The Yukon territorial government is recognizing a mineral exploration company that operates east of Mayo for its exemplary site cleanup.

Snowline Gold received the 2023 Robert E. Leckie Award for Excellence in Environmental Stewardship at the 51st Annual Geoscience Forum and Trade Show banquet. The annual forum was held Nov. 19 to 22.

“The company’s mineral exploration work about 220 kilometres east of Mayo stands as an excellent example of progressive reclamation, cleaning up as you go. In addition, they have made efforts to clean up historic exploration camps on their properties,” a Nov. 21 Yukon government notice reads.

The award is named in honour of Robert E. Leckie, a Mayo mining inspector who is described as an innovator dedicated to developing progressive land-use practices for mining.
