5.3 C LIMATE
The climate is alpine, but tempered by west coast climate influences. Despite
lengthy winter seasons, the temperatures are less extreme than areas further east.
Long-term weather records have been recorded at the Burwash Landing weather
station (806.8 masl), the closest station to the Property. The daily average
temperature at the Burwash Landing station is -22°C in January and 12.8°C in July.
Since the area lies in the rain shadow of the Saint Elias Mountains, overall
precipitation is generally light with short stretches of periodic heavy precipitation.
Average annual precipitation for the Burwash Landing station is 279.7 mm, of which
192 mm is rain and 106.4 cm is snow.
5.4 I NFRASTRUCTURE
A water supply, adequate for drilling operations, can be pumped from local creeks.
Non-potable water was supplied for the camp from Nickel Creek, which flows past
the portal to the underground workings. All local creeks freeze solid during the winter
months. In order to maintain a year round camp or mining operation, drilling of water
wells will be required.
Power on the Property is currently supplied by generators installed for the exploration
programs. Haines Junction is the current limit of the southern grid of Yukon Energy
Corporation (YEC).
Yukon has a favourable mining tax law which encourages the investment in the
mining sector. Skilled labour and equipment is available in the city of Whitehorse
(population 24,500) and the small village of Haines Junction (area population of
approximately 800).
The villages of Burwash Landing and Destruction Bay, located 15 and 30 km
southeast from the Wellgreen turn-off respectively from the Property, can provide
basic food, fuel and lodgings if necessary.
