Community Prosperity
Reconciliation
We work to advance reconciliation, building a relationship with First Nations in the geographical regions where we operate based on respect, cooperation and partnership.
Economic Development
Creating jobs, supporting local businesses, and contributing to the economic well-being of the region.
Community Engagement

Environmental Stewardship
Solar-Powered Exploration Camp
Snowline and the Na-Cho Nyäk Dun Development Corp’s renewable energy partnership powers up to 90% of the Forks Exploration Camp, significantly reducing diesel usage.
Regional Industrial Clean Up Projects
At the historical Plata mining site, the Snowline team cleaned up abandoned equipment and materials left by previous operators from the 1980s, earning the Yukon's R. E. Leckie environmental stewardship award for our restoration work.
Early-Stage Progressive Reclamation
In partnership with Yukon Seed & Restoration, botanical inventories are documented at key work areas with on site native seed banks created for future reclamation. Additionally, 100% of drill pads created between 2021 to 2024 on the Valley Gold Deposit have been progressively reclaimed.
Company Timeline: Beginning with the end in mind
With reclamation in mind, Snowline partnered with Yukon Seed & Restoration to document botanical inventories at key work areas and establish on-site native seed banks for future restoration. Between 2021 and 2024, 100% of drill pads on the Valley Gold Deposit were progressively reclaimed, demonstrating our commitment to responsible operations.
Snowline partnered with the Na-Cho Nyäk Dun Development Corporation to install a 27 kW solar generator system at our main exploration camp. The system supplies the majority of the camp’s power needs, reducing fuel use and cutting carbon emissions by up to 90%.
Following the Valley discovery hole (410 m @ 1.9 g/t Au from surface), Snowline launched early environmental baseline studies at the Rogue Project. Work included water quality monitoring, hydrology assessments, and wildlife surveys to guide responsible project development from the outset.
Snowline has undertaken several environmental cleanup projects, earning recognition for our efforts in responsible land stewardship. The historical Plata mining site is an example where the Snowline team removed abandoned equipment and materials left by operators in the 1980s, earning the Yukon’s R. E. Leckie Environmental Stewardship Award for our restoration work.
The awards committee recognized various efforts and initiatives undertaken by Snowline, including progressive reclamation of its surface disturbances, drill pad site optimization to minimize clearing, clean-up of a long-abandoned third-party exploration camp on its claims, and several projects launched in collaboration with Yukon Seed and Restoration (YSR), a First Nation of Na-Cho Nyäk Dun majority-owned environmental business. The projects with YSR include pre-disturbance botanical inventories for multiple work sites, local collection of native seed banks for future reclamation of surface disturbances, and the establishment of trial reclamation plots to assess the on-site effectiveness of various applications of these local seeds for rapid and effective revegetation.
Phase I reclamation work completed by Snowline at historical “Plata” staging area, southwest of the Rogue Project, which supported 1980s mining activity in the area from the Plata winter trail
Snowline received its second consecutive Robert E. Leckie Award for Excellence in Environmental Stewardship from the Government of Yukon, recognizing the Company’s environmentally conscious exploration practices. This includes progressive reclamation of operational disturbances and ongoing cleanups of historical third-party exploration and mining sites. In 2024, efforts focused on the first phase of a two-phase cleanup of the historical Plata mine staging area.
Snowline received ECO Canada’s Yukon Sustainability Award for Medium to Large Businesses, recognizing our leadership in driving a greener economy. The annual awards, presented in partnership with the Government of Yukon, honour businesses across industries that demonstrate environmental stewardship and a commitment to Indigenous reconciliation and collaboration.
