Yukon Lands Withdrawn Under Quartz Mining Act Orders

2026 data from the Government of Yukon details lands withdrawn from disposal via Orders in Council authorized under the Quartz Mining Act. The dataset includes both active and expired orders, with spatial views representing the regulations for clarity on land status. Users must consult linked OIC documents for specific withdrawal details not captured in GIS attributes.

Use Cases

• Map active land withdrawals by analyzing spatial views filtered for current Quartz Mining Act orders.
• Identify historical land status changes by comparing active and expired order records within the dataset.
• Analyze the geographic distribution of Yukon lands affected by different levels of withdrawal as referenced in OIC documents.

Strengths

• Data is current, with a last update recorded in March 2026.
• Includes comprehensive records covering both active and expired regulatory orders.
• Spatial data is provided via ESRI REST service for geographic analysis.

Limitations

• GIS attributes lack detail on the different common levels of land withdrawal, requiring external document review.
• Sample data and specific record counts (rows) are unavailable for assessing dataset scale.
• The dataset's scope is limited to Yukon, Canada, and the Quartz Mining Act.
