The Opportunity
- Large property portfolio in the prolific Klondike placer gold mining district with over 20 million placer gold ounces discovered since 1896 and remains underexplored for 'hard rock' gold mineralization.
- Largest mineral quartz claim holder in the White Gold District with 15,500+ claims covering over 315,000 hectares/3150 square km.
- The Company's property portfolio includes its flagship White Gold Project which includes 4 deposits in close proximity and collectively contain Indicated Resources of 1,152,900 ounce at 2.23 g/t Au and Inferred resources of 942,400 ounces at 1.54 g/t Au:
- Golden Saddle: Indicated Resources of 1,131,700 ounces at 2.28 g/t Au and Inferred resources of 222,900 ounces at 1.69 g/t Au.
- Arc: Indicated Resources of 21,200 at 1.03 g/t Au and Inferred resources of 204,700 ounces at 1.17 g/t Au.
- Ryan's Surprise: Inferred resources of 227,700 ounces at 1.97 g/t Au.
- VG: Inferred resources of 287,100 ounces at 1.53 g/t Au.
- Significant undeveloped discoveries in the District include Western Copper and Gold Corporation's (TSX: WRN, NYSE: WRN) Casino deposit with Measured and Indicated Resources of 14.8 Moz gold & 7.6 Blbs copper and Inferred Resources of 6.3 Moz gold and 3.1 Blb copper and Newmont Corporation's (TSX: NGT, NYSE: NEM) Coffee deposit with Measured and Indicated Resources of 2.10 Moz gold at 1.28 g/t Au and Inferred Resources of 0.20 Moz at 1.04 g/t Au.
- Project generator with a robust pipeline of numerous early-stage and discovery-stage exploration projects with favourable underlying geology and potential to host multiple mineral deposit types including orogenic gold, intrusion-related gold, epithermal gold-silver, and porphyry copper-gold (molybdenum).
- Experienced management and technical team with over 100 years of combined experience in mineral exploration, including major discoveries in the White Gold District.
- Strategic partners include well respected major Canadian gold mining companies Agnico Eagle Mines Limited (TSX: AEM, NYSE: AEM) and Kinross Gold Corporation (TSX: K, NYSE: KGC), with each owning approximately 19.8% and 13.5% respectively of the Company.
- Yukon is a stable Canadian jurisdiction that is supportive of mineral exploration and mining and is ranked as a top 10 global jurisdiction in terms of mineral potential and investment attractiveness according to the Fraser Institute.
- The Yukon Resource Gateway Project, a jointly funded infrastructure project between the federal government ($248 million), Yukon government ($112 million) and the mining industry ($109 million) will see upgrades to 650km of existing resource roads in the Dawson and Nahanni ranges. These upgrades will provide reliable access to mineral-rich areas like the White Gold District, significantly enhancing the prospects of future mine development.
