Brewery Creek trip
Archie is in Brewery Creek, near Dawson City, with the rest of the Conference attendees. The party will return to Whitehorse this afternoon.
Brewery Creek was closed in 2002 because of low gold prices. Since then, Alexco Resource Corp. has expended - through April 2006 - approximately $600,000 at Brewery Creek for the 2006 reclamation program.
To quote from their website, "Alexco Resource Corp.'s business is to unlock value and manage risk at mature, closed or abandoned minesites through deployment of the company's core competencies and skills which include management of environmental services, execution of mine reclamation and closure operations and where appropriate, rejuvenation of exploration and development activity."
Reclamation of the mine is complete this year, and long-term monitoring is ongoing.

Gary Lunn is our MP for Saanich and Southern Gulf Islands.
He’s a good professional Reform cum Tory MP, even if he broke ranks and quit for a bit over Stockwell Day’s leadership.
He doesn’t have a majority vote on my island, Saturna, because of the combination of NDP hard cases in the resident working poor, and the American semi absentee waterfront land owners who can’t vote. He’s a close second to the socialists.
We’ve got a new National Park here doing bueaaucratic dominance of Saturna Island and I tried to get Gary to slow them down – but his new ministerial duties seems to have him tied up now. I don’t respect Parks Canada.
I hope he does something for Yukon Mining., I’ll be interested to know what Archie thinks of him.
