Use Cases

• Analyze the distribution of permit classes to understand the scale of mining exploration activities in Yukon.
• Map the geographic locations of permits to assess regional clustering of different activity classes.
• Model the relationship between permit class and associated environmental impact thresholds defined by the regulations.

Strengths

• Data is provided and maintained by the authoritative Government of Yukon.
• Regulatory framework explicitly defines four distinct classes of operation for clear categorization.
• Dataset was updated in March 2026, indicating recent maintenance.

Limitations
