Yukon Gold was a Canadian reality television series produced by Paperny Entertainment that aired on History Television. The series followed four or five placer mining crews as they searched for gold over the four-month Yukon mining season.
The series was acquired in the United States by the National Geographic Channel and aired starting in 2013.
On June 1, 2017, Paperny Entertainment announced on the show's Twitter feed that after five seasons, Yukon Gold had "ended its run".
