True North Gems leaves Yukon emeralds in the ground
It's been seven years since True North Gems has done work on its Tsa Da Glisza property in southeastern Yukon. The company plans to haul equipment out of the area this winter.
It's near the end for what was once touted as a possible emerald mine in the Yukon.
True North Gems has approval to take the remaining equipment and material from its Tsa Da Glisza property in southeastern Yukon.
It recovered hundreds of thousands of gemstone and near-gemstone quality emeralds from about three thousand tonnes of ore.
The company will haul equipment out of the area, on an ice road, this winter.
True North Gems also holds claims in Nunavut, on its Beluga sapphire property between Iqaluit and Kimmirut. However, work has also come to a halt at that location.
The company says it is now concentrating on its ruby property in Greenland.
