Io - Excelsior Creek
Excelsior Creek is a 12 kilometers long tributary of the Yukon River.
By 2018 the area will become finally accessible to the heavy mining equipment without using long and extremely expensive barge transportation. That vast region, which has always known for its rich goldfields, will be finally open to the placer mining enterprises of the Yukon.
