Who We Are

The Casino Project is being developed with the Yukon at its centre, shaped by local leadership, strong partnerships, and a long-term commitment to responsible development.

From environmental stewardship to meaningful community engagement, our work reflects the values and priorities of Yukoners.

Casino Mining Corporation is a wholly owned subsidiary of Western Copper and Gold Corporation and holds 100% ownership of the Casino Property. The Project is currently undergoing a YESAB Panel Review — Yukon’s highest environmental and socio-economic assessment level.

We are committed to:

Prioritizing Yukoners' health, safety, and well-being

Protecting cultural values and the environment for future generations

Listening to the needs and priorities of local governments, residents, and businesses

Ensuring the Project aligns with local, national, and global best practices in responsible mining
