The Tr’ondëk Hwëch’in Government is hosting a public information session on March 26, 2026, to discuss the Coffee Gold Mine project in Dawson City, Yukon. This meeting gives community members a chance to hear directly from the company running the project and learn about what is happening at the site.
The mine is a proposed open-pit project located about 130 kilometres south of the community. It was recently purchased by Fuerte Metals, which took over ownership of the site from the Newmont Corporation.
At the session, the new owners will provide an update on the current status of the mine and its future development plans. The event will include a dinner and a forum where residents can ask questions about how the project might impact the environment and the local economy.
This session is important because the mine uses a process called cyanide heap leaching to extract gold, which has been a topic of community interest. Residents will have the opportunity to understand the company’s vision and timeline for the project moving forward.
