REMEDIATION
Faro Mine
Remediation Project
$700 MILLION
Faro Mine is a former open-pit lead-zinc mine, one of the largest of
its kind in the world at approximately 25 square kilometres. It is located
in south-central Yukon on the traditional territory of the Kaska Nations,
near the town of Faro. Abandoned in 1998, resource extraction led to 70
million tonnes of tailings and 320 million tonnes of waste rock. Care and
maintenance work since then has helped to ensure water quality so that
environmental standards are met. Active remediation is expected to begin
in 2025 following the successful completion of the Yukon environmental
and socio-economic assessment process, and receipt of a water licence
from the Yukon Water Board. Remediation is expected to take about 15
years to complete, followed by ongoing testing, maintenance operations
and monitoring to make any needed improvements to the site.
