Arctic Gold and Silver Mine Site Cover Performance Monitoring, Yukon

Government of Yukon data monitors the performance of a low permeability cover installed in 1998-99 to reduce acid rock drainage at the Arctic Gold and Silver Tailings Site in Carcross. The dataset likely contains measurements related to oxygen and water infiltration barriers and their impact on leachate pH and dissolved metals. It was last updated on April 17, 2026.

Use Cases

• Modeling acid rock drainage production based on oxygen and water infiltration data
• Evaluating low permeability cover effectiveness for mine reclamation
• Assessing groundwater and surface water contamination risk from tailings leachate
• Analyzing long-term environmental monitoring trends at abandoned mine sites

Strengths

• Dataset is associated with a specific reclamation project at the Arctic Gold and Silver Tailings Site from 1998-99
• Platform tags indicate it includes both tabular and geospatial data components
• Last update timestamp (2026-04-17) suggests ongoing maintenance

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download
