Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Coal Resources of the Yukon, Alaska You are hereby assigned to the work of making a geologic reconnaissance of the Yukon River from the international boundary to the delta. The most important economic problem is the investigation of the coal deposits. You are expected to make a careful study of all the coal seams which have been exploited adjacent to your route of travel. It is important to Obtain paleontologic data in regard to the age of the coal. You are also expected to visit such placer deposits as may be easily accessible from the river. You will devote special atten tion to the problems of stratigraphy of Yukon River section, and are expected to visit the various localities at which fossils have been found and make extensive collections.

Book excerpt: "There have been several reports written recently about the coal prospects in the Yukon, especially in the Carmacks area at Tantalus Mine and Tantalus Butte Mine. The main question of reserves is not yet answered and none of the reports can be conclusive until a large block of reserves has been proved up. In the meantime, possible "load centres" have been identified and minimum loads to warrant a thermal electric power station using coal have been established .... Low initial investment and very competitive power prices have been estimated for a thermal power project. The possibility of coking coal being produced in the Carmacks area can be dismissed at this time for although some of the coal will form coke the costs of beneficiation to reach commercial quality are too high. It must be remembered that the Tantalus Butte mine is in only one of several Yukon coal basins and that some other basins containing Cretaceous and Tertiary coal are much larger with good prospects for the finding of significant coal reserves. ... the first recommendation is for a thorough search of all publications and records referring to coal in the Yukon followed by field work in areas deemed favourable after consideration of geology, reported coal exposure, and location relative to markets and transportation facilities. The opportunity for surface mining should be examined in each case. ... Secondly, the investigations into electric power demand, socio-economic impact of industrial development and transportation are apparently proceeding under the auspices of various federal agencies, the Northern utilities and private companies. Studies of the Carmacks area or other possible coal mine sites would best be taken after the location of prime coal areas have been ascertained. Unfortunately, the discoveries of coking-coal in the Yukon are not really promising. That coal suitable for coking exists is not disputed but any support by companies or agencies outside the government cannot be expected unless a major prospect of high quality coal is discovered. Private exploration is currently being carried out for coking-coal with some success by half a dozen companies. Relative to this, a study of the economic factors involved in producing coal for export or use in domestic coke oven should be investigated .... An export market for coking-coal or possibly thermal coal may open up on the west coast of the United States. The proximity of several coal prospects to the sea may give Yukon coal mines a shipping advantage over other Canadian and American mines. However, the possibility of shipment of coal out of the Yukon would likely be contingent upon construction of a new railway. ... In summary then, increased utilization of Yukon coal resources will depend on demand for electricity making a large coal fired steam-electric plant feasible, or the discovery of very high quality coking coal, or a combination of both events"--ASTIS Database.
