The second earthquake in as many months shook the mountains of the central Bonnetplume River valley this morning.
It had a magnitude of 5.1, reports Natural Resources Canada.
The earthquake happened about 126 kilometres northeast of Keno City about 4:30 a.m.
In late October, there was a 4.0 earthquake about 30 kilometres further north.
That one came the day after the Yukon government announced its new plans to open the Peel to industrial development and kicked off final consultations.
Today marks the end of the first series of Yukon meetings, held in Whitehorse, Mayo and Dawson during the past two weeks.
