The Elsa-Keno Hill mining district is found on the Silver Trail, about 45 km from the town of Mayo in the Yukon Territories. The Keno Hill district, historically, was one of the biggest producers of silver in Canada. The district is made up of about 35 individual mines which were worked between 1913 and 1989 but most of the tonnage in the district came from just 10 deposits. Most of the mines are following single veins which are about 1m wide on average (the widest vein mined was less than 10m wide).

埃尔萨-基诺山矿区位于银径上，距离育空地区的马约镇约45公里。 基诺山地区，历史上，是加拿大最大的银生产商之一。该地区由大约35个独立的矿山组成，这些矿山在1913年至1989年期间开采，但该地区的大部分吨位仅来自10个矿床。 大多数矿山都是沿着平均约1米宽的单一矿脉（开采的最宽矿脉不到10米宽）。
