Focused on both collecting the data to support a prefeasibility study for establishing a mine at Klaza and testing high-priority targets outside the current mineral resources, Rockhaven Resources Ltd. completed 14,256 meters of infill and expansion drilling at its road-accessible gold-silver project in southern Yukon. A 2020 preliminary economic assessment for Klaza outlines plans for a mine that would produce roughly 750,000 ounces of gold and 13.8 million oz of silver over...
As a mineral exploration company that embraces new technology, Triumph Gold Corp. has leveraged the power of artificial intelligence to transform the massive amount of data generated from years of exploration at Freegold Mountain into previously unrecognized resource expansion targets around the Revenue and Nucleus deposits on this gold-copper project in Canada's Yukon. A large and road-accessible project in Yukon's Dawson Range, Freegold Mountain hosts near-surface porphyry...
From exploring resource expansion and discovery targets on its namesake property to testing a potential hardrock source of the rich placer streams in the Sixtymile district near the Alaska border, White Gold Corp. continues to systematically advance multiple gold targets across its more than 1 million acres of prospective land in Yukon's prolific White Gold District. This work is bolstered by the technical and financial support of strategic partners Agnico Eagle Mines Ltd....
Starting what it started in 2020, Whitehorse Gold Corp. continued to tap high-grade gold-silver mineralization with resource expansion and exploration drilling at Skukum, home to a past-producing mine in southern Yukon. New Pacific Metals Corp., which gained full ownership of Skukum through the 2011 acquisition of Tagish Lake Gold Corp., created Whitehorse Gold late in 2020 as a subsidiary to advance this 170-square-kilometer (65 square miles) gold property about 55...
Continuing to expand upon the intriguing trenching and drilling over the previous three seasons, Victoria Gold Corp. carried out C$12.5 million of exploration at Dublin Gulch during 2021, "one of the largest programs in company history," Victoria Gold President and CEO John McConnell said in November. This included deep drilling below current reserves and resources being mined from the Eagle deposit at Dublin Gulch. According to a late 2019 calculation, Eagle hosted 148 millio...
With a mix of traditional exploration and the data processing power offered by artificial intelligence, Blue Star Gold Corp. is seeking to unlock the high-grade gold potential across its 160 square kilometers (61.8 square miles) of highly prospective and underexplored mineral properties in the High Lake Greenstone Belt in Nunavut. The company's three projects– Ulu, Hood River, and Roma – cover more than 40 high-grade gold occurrences over a 50-kilometer (31 miles) stretch of...
With a resource calculated in March 2020, Gold Terra Resource Corp. moved roughly 472,000 ounces closer to its goal of unlocking the multimillion-ounce gold potential of its 800-square-kilometer (309 square miles) Yellowknife City Gold project in Northwest Territories. According to the new calculation, Yellowknife hosts 1.21 million ounces of gold in 21.8 million metric tons of open-pittable inferred resource averaging 1.25 grams per metric ton (876,000 oz) gold; and 2.55...
Mountain Province Diamonds Inc. has two active exploration programs focused on discovering new diamond-rich kimberlites to extend the life of Gahcho Kué, a diamond mine in Northwest Territories owned under a joint venture between De Beers Canada Inc. (51%) and Mountain Province (49%). The first program, which is carried out by the Gahcho Kué Joint Venture, is focused on exploring for discoveries across the 5,216-hectare (12,889 acres) Gahcho Kué property that can extend th...
After kicking off 2021 with a major upgrade and expansion to the mineral resources at Indin Lake, Nighthawk Gold Corp. launched the largest drill program ever at this 930-square-kilometer (359 square miles) gold property in Northwest Territories. According to the May calculation, Indin Lake hosts 38.7 million metric tons of indicated resource averaging 1.81 grams per metric ton (2.25 million ounces) gold, a 35% increase over the 2020 resource estimate, and 11.5 million metric...
As its partner Burgundy Diamond Mines Ltd. advances bulk sampling of the shared Naujaat project in Nunavut, North Arrow Minerals Inc. has been revisiting its 100% owned Loki diamond project in the Lac de Gras region of Northwest Territories. Roughly 35 kilometers (22 miles) southwest of the Ekati Mine and 40 kilometers (25 miles) west of the Diavik Mine, Loki is found in a region known for its rich diamond deposits. Presently, five diamond-bearing kimberlites have been...
Advancing the historic Pine Point project, Osisko Metals Inc. spent 2021 proving that the zinc-lead project had more to give, on a zinc-only basis, enough to give that could rank it within the top ten in the world. Formerly mined under Cominco (now Teck Resources), Pine Point – roughly 26 miles (42 kilometers) east of Hay River, Northwest Territories – produced roughly 14 billion pounds of zinc and 4 billion lb of lead from around 64 million metric tons of ore averaging abo...
Sabina Gold & Silver Corp. kicked off 2021 with a significant expansion to the gold resources at its Back River mine project in Nunavut. According to a calculation published in February, Back River hosts 33.45 million metric tons of measured and indicated resources averaging 5.88 grams per metric ton (6.32 million oz) gold; and 13.79 million metric tons of inferred resource averaging 6.44 g/t (2.86 million oz) gold. An updated feasibility study based on this resource details...
