Canadian miner Golden Predator Mining has received formal notification from the Yukon government confirming the validity of the existing quartz mining licence and water licence, allowing for the restart of the Brewery Creek mine, which was put into temporary closure in 2002 following a gold price collapse. From 1996 to 2002, the mine – then operated by the Viceroy Resource Corporation – produced about 280 000 oz gold from seven near-surface oxide deposits along the property’s reserve trend.
