Canadian miners later lobbied for domestic refining capabilities because they were often forced to sell their gold to the United States. The idea for a Canadian Mint and Canadian gold coins was put on hold until the late 1890s, when a major gold rush in Yukon’s Klondike region brought an awareness of gold mining to the forefront of Canadian consciousness, and fueled Canadian’s dreams of mineral wealth. These first gold coins struck by the Royal Canadian Mint (then called the Ottawa Mint) were Canadian in almost every aspect, from raw material to design. The coins were composed of Canadian gold, approximately 90% of it from the Klondike region.The story of Yukon gold coins starts with the Yukon Mint™.The Yukon Mint™ is focused on creating gold coins that will be Yukon in almost every aspect, from raw material to design. The Yukon Mint™ works to ensure local communities benefit from Yukon mining and exploration projects. A percentage of the net profits from the sale of the gold coins is shared in the Yukon.The Yukon Mint™ is a wholly owned subsidiary of Golden Predator Mining Corp. (Golden Predator).
