During the Klondike Gold Rush, which began in 1896, miners extracted an estimated $2 billion worth of gold (equivalent to over $60 billion today) from the Yukon region of Canada. It is estimated that around 1.5 million ounces of gold were mined, with the peak years being from 1897 to 1899. However, many miners faced harsh conditions, and only a fraction struck it rich. The gold rush significantly impacted the region's development and population growth.
