Casino Project: Wildlife Baseline Report. Prepared for Casino Mining Corporation, Vancouver, BC by EDI, Whitehorse, YT. 18 October 2013 EDI Project #: 13-Y-0045 EDI ENVIRONMENTAL DYNAMICS INC ii Casino Project: Wildlife Baseline Report 18 October 2013 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Casino Project (the Project) is a proposed copper-molybdenum-gold mine located in the Boreal Cordillera Ecozone of the Yukon Territory, approximately 300 km northwest of Whitehorse. In 2010, Casino Mining Corporation (CMC) requested that Environmental Dynamics Inc. (EDI) collect and summarize terrestrial wildlife data for the Project area. Caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou) and moose (Alces alces) dominate the landscape in this region and also play an integral role in the region’s culture by providing sustenance and resource opportunities. Woodland caribou herds within the region include the Klaza, Aishihik, and Forty Mile herds; however, the Project interacts primarily with the Klaza herd. Woodland caribou from the Klaza herd are present within the Project’s Regional Study Area (RSA) year-round, with parts of the herd’s annual range overlapping with the proposed Freegold Road upgrade and extension. The Klaza herd has experienced a population increase since the early 1990s. The herd, once numbering approximately 440 animals is now estimated at 1,179 animals. Moose are the largest ungulate within the RSA and are considered the primary harvest species for resident hunters. Moose are distributed throughout the RSA, likely selecting available burned and treed riparian areas. Moose densities in the area are considered low for the Yukon. Other ungulates present within the RSA include Dall’s sheep (Ovis dalli), wood bison (Bison bison athabascae; Aishihik herd), and mule deer (Odocoileus heminonus). Dall’s sheep are known to use traditional seasonal ranges in three main areas in the RSA. Wood bison are only sporadically present in the very southern section of the RSA, and mule deer are occasionally observed on south-facing slopes near the Yukon River (western RSA). The dominant carnivores in the RSA include grizzly (Ursus arctos horribilis) and black bears (Ursus americanus), wolves (Canis lupus), and wolverine (Gulo gulo), which occur at relatively low densities; however, little is known about these species in the region. Lynx (Lynx canadensis), American marten (Martes americana), coyote (Canis latrans), and red fox (Vulpes vulpes) are also present. Collared pika (Ochotona collaris) are known to inhabit alpine areas close to the proposed mine site. This report summarizes and integrates the history of regional government surveys and studies, harvest data, habitat use, and Project-specific wildlife studies to provide a robust account of baseline conditions within the proposed Project area. EDI Project #: 13-Y-0045 EDI ENVIRONMENTAL DYNAMICS INC iii Casino Project: Wildlife Baseline Report 18 October 2013 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The information summarized in this report reflects a large amount of effort and resources from a number of people and organizations. This report would not be possible without them. CMC commissioned Project specific baseline studies since 2006. This work is included and referenced in this report and the results were helpful for planning further studies. The Government of Yukon funded and staffed much of the data summarized in this report. Mark O’Donoghue (Biologist, Northern Tutchone Region) and Troy Hegel (Ungulate Biologist) designed, coordinated, and implemented the recent studies on the Klaza caribou herd, moose, and Dall’s sheep. They provided data, advice, and comments. Joe Bellmore (Fish and Wildlife Technician) and Kyle Russell (Program Technician, Caribou/Sheep/Goat) participated in CMC funded surveys in 2012 and 2013, respectively. Their time and effort are greatly appreciated. Local Carmacks residents who assisted with surveys include Willis Allen, Troy Fairclough, Terry Hanlon, Lauren Skookum, Gill Tulk, and Gary Wheeler. Their patience during weather delays, vigilance during long hours of work, and companionship were greatly appreciated and we look forward to working with them again in the near future. Safe and professional fixed wing and helicopter services were provided by Alpine Aviation (Gerd Mannsperger and Martin Hebert), Capital Helicopters (Andy Robertson) and Whitehorse Air (Tom Hudgin, Dave

  • 14 Day Explore Yukon by Camper Van
    Tour Code 14YCV 14 Day Explore Yukon by Camper Van 14 days Created on: 26 Sep, 2021 Day 1: Arrive in Whitehorse The capital of the Yukon, Whitehorse, offers a charming inside to the history of the North. We suggest a trip to the Visitor Centre to learn about the different regions of the Yukon and pick up some maps. Then a walk to the riverfront Kwanlin Dun Cultural Centre. This award-winning building celebrates the heritage, culture and contemporary way of life of Yukon's Kwanlin Dun First Nations people. Whitehorse also has great shops, galleries and museums that are open all year. We suggest a tour through the MacBride Museum and a stroll down Main Street to spend time with the locals in the lively cafés. Keep an eye out for locally sourced food and drink products, you will be surprised at the culinary scene in this northern town. The long evening is set aside to explore the capital of the Yukon on foot. While the northern lights occur year-round, summer's near-constant daylight makes seeing them next to impossible. In late summer and early autumn however, clear, dark nights lend themselves to stunning displays. From late August onwards, we suggest you locally book for a Northern Lights viewing at the Aurora Centre in the comfort of insulated yurts with a steaming hot drink. Overnight: Whitehorse Day 2: Half Day Guided Canoe Trip To get immersed in the ?northern spirit? there is nothing better than to experience the Yukon River first-hand. Deeply connected with every aspect of this Territory?s history and culture, a half day float down the river will give you valuable insights.
