Budget 2019 invested $49.9 million over 15 years ($2.2 billion on a cash basis), starting in 2020–21 to create the Northern Abandoned Mine Reclamation Program. The program will exclusively address the largest and highest-risk abandoned mines in the Yukon and the Northwest Territories.

At the end of the 15-year program, active remediation is expected to be complete at seven of the eight mine sites. However, all sites will likely require ongoing care and monitoring to ensure the remediation measures continue working as planned.

Cantung Mine
The Cantung tungsten mine is located in the south-west corner of the Northwest Territories, approximately 720 km west of Yellowknife. The mine is located 390 km from Whitehorse, with year-round access via Watson Lake. North American Tungsten Corporation Ltd (NATC) is the owner of Cantung mine and is responsible for the site under the water licence issued by the Mackenzie Valley Land and Water Board.
