Nickel Creek Platinum Corp. Dec. 16 announced results on the ongoing work toward carbon sequestering at the company's Wellgreen deposit on its flagship Nickel Shaw project in southwestern Yukon, Canada.

Minto Metals Corp. Dec. 20 announced the results from its 2022 magnetotellurics geophysical survey over its Minto copper mine property in Yukon, Canada. Magnetotellurics is a passive electromagnetic technique that maps resistivity by measuring telluric currents induced in the earth by natural sources such as lightning, solar flares, and ionospheric resonances. In layman, this essentially means sensitive equipment detects the natural electrical currents that flow through the...
Brixton Metals Corp. Dec. 20 announced wide intercepts of strong gold mineralization in the Trapper target on the company's Thorn project in Northern British Columbia. A 2,863-square-kilometer (1,105 square miles) land package at the northern corner of BC's famed Golden Triangle, the Thorn project hosts both epithermal gold targets such as Trapper and large-scale porphyry copper-gold-silver-molybdenum targets such as Camp Creek about five miles (eight kilometers) to the...
StrikePoint Gold Inc. Dec. 19 announced that the 2022 exploration drilling was successful in confirming high-grade silver mineralization within the historic resource block on the company's Porter-Idaho project in British Columbia's Golden Triangle.
