Yukon Zinc Corporation is in bankruptcy under the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act in the Supreme Court of British Columbia, court file B-190481, with proceedings commenced on 8 October 2019 and PricewaterhouseCoopers Inc. acting as Trustee. Secured claims listed as at 13 September 2019 include Welichem at CAD 11,400,000 and Jing You Lu at CAD 427,130.50, both flagged as subject to security review, Phoenix Global Investment Inc. at CAD 2,315,000, Jinduicheng Canada Resources Corporation Limited at CAD 250,000, and a Yukon Government claim recorded as to be determined. Unsecured claims taken from the company's books and records include Yukon Government property tax of CAD 311,247.36, BQE Water Inc. at CAD 279,720.00, employees in the aggregate at CAD 207,338.87, Northern Enviro Services at CAD 184,852.82 and DRA Americas at CAD 145,716.33. The matter remains active.
The officer filed report no. Twelfth Report. The Mine is in care and maintenance; effective November 1, 2022 the care and maintenance work transitions to a third-party contractor (Boreal Engineering Limited) engaged through the Government of Yukon, leaving the Receiver with limited powers and mainly statutory administration, plus removal of two tailings treatment barges and minor water testing in November.
The officer filed report no. Eleventh Report. The Mine is under care and maintenance by the Receiver, which has also had to arrange repairs to the Tailings Storage Facility after sloughing was found in June 2022. Yukon Government is expected to appoint a new care and maintenance contractor from November 1, 2022, greatly reducing the Receiver's activities.

The officer filed report no. Eighth Report. The Receiver has maintained care and maintenance of the Wolverine Mine, including water treatment and environmental monitoring, and has concluded the sale process by seeking approval to sell the Logan claim interest to Almaden while terminating the SISP for the remaining assets and transitioning the Mine to the Government of Yukon.
The officer filed report no. Seventh Report. The Receiver continues care and maintenance of the Wolverine Mine, including environmental monitoring, water treatment upgrades and regulatory compliance. It continues to run the sale process (SISP), having concluded there was no acceptable offer for the majority of the assets and negotiating a sale of a small subset with a single party.
The officer filed report no. Second Supplemental to the Sixth Report. This supplemental report corrects Appendix F of the Sixth Report: Item 419 (VFDs) is located in the Mill building, while the two VFDs at the Tailings Storage Facility are part of the water treatment equipment and are the subject of the Receiver's fixtures application.
The officer filed report no. Supplemental Sixth Report. The Receiver continues care and maintenance of the Wolverine Mine, including seasonal water treatment to keep the Tailings Storage Facility below its maximum allowable level. It replaced 71 of 79 Essential Items by June 2021 and used the remaining eight water treatment items until the season ended October 4, 2021.
