The town of Faro, in Central Yukon, was built in 1968 to service the Anvil mine, once the largest lead-zinc mines in the world. The Anvil mine closed and re-opened several times but operations were finally shut down in 1998. Since then there has been little economic development in the area. Silver Range Resources has a series of claims called the Keg Project with 22 zones of mineralization which are 10-45 km from the Faro town-site. The main commodities of interest are silver, lead and zinc but the prospects are unusual in that they also contain quite high amounts of tin and indium. Indium is a "strategic" metal, which is increasingly used in liquid crystal displays for flat panel screens.

法鲁镇位于育空地区中部，始建于1968年，服务于曾经是世界上最大的铅锌矿——铁砧矿。铁砧矿多次关闭和重新开放，但最终于1998年关闭。从那以后，该地区几乎没有经济发展。Silver Range Resources拥有一系列被称为Keg项目的矿区，该项目拥有22个矿化带，距离Faro镇10-45公里。主要感兴趣的商品是银、铅和锌，但前景不寻常，因为它们也含有相当大量的锡和铟。铟是一种“战略性”金属，越来越多地用于平板屏幕的液晶显示器。
