Mining messes from an era void of regulations are evident in the Yukon — from the estimated billion-dollar cleanup of Faro to Keno Hill, where Alexco is now engaged in reclamation and mining — and are “the kind of stuff that people tend to look back on with a very anachronistic view of what occurred,” said Mr. McIntyre.
“It’s a different industry now than what was and it’s a different society than what was,” he said. “The mining industry is nothing more or less than the product of the society it springs from — society has changed and so has the industry.”
