| The Klondike Placer Miners'
Association is a non-profit advocacy group created by, of and for the placer miners
of the Yukon. We were created to promote and protect the
interests of the placer mining industry, and we continue to advance
this cause on all fronts.
Objective:
- Promote the interests and conserve the
rights of those engaged in the placer mining industry in the
Yukon. (Klondike Placer Miners' Constitution & By-laws.)
- Promote sustainable placer mining and
placer exploration in the Yukon.
- Promote best practices for placer mining.
- Provide educational information to the public on modern, responsible
placer mining and placer exploration.
Activities:
Negotiations with government involving legislation, regulations
and policy affecting placer mining are the Association's principal
activity. There is currently a high rate of new and amended legislation
and regulation in process, all adding to the cost of placer mining.
The KPMA continues to promote modern, responsible placer mining
with regulations that will allow the industry to continue to be
a major economic contributor in Yukon.
The KPMA remains the only credible voice of
the placer industry with Government. We need your support and membership
to continue our lobbying efforts on behalf of all placer miners.
Placer miners and Yukon business who rely on
the mining industry, BE INFORMED, BE INVOLVED, and JOIN US TODAY
