Yukon Placer Mining Inspection and Exploration Reports, 1985-1988

From 1985 to 1988, the Yukon Placer Mining Inspection Unit compiled inspection reports from site visits. The volume also includes summaries of placer exploration assessment reports submitted for credit between 1975 and 1988, containing unpublished geological, geochemical, or geophysical data. It was published by the Government of Yukon.
