While copper has the potential to be a major contributor to Alaska's economic future, this "new oil" of the low-carbon economy will be hard-pressed to beat out the old money being produced at current and coming gold mines across the Last Frontier. This is due in large part to Kinross Gold Corp.'s new "Kinross Alaska" strategy that is leveraging the underutilized 14-million-metric-ton-per-year mill and storage capacity at Fort Knox to process higher-grade ore mined from...
Assays are pending, the unofficial slogan of the 2021 mineral exploration season across Alaska and Canada's North, is a phrase that continues to echo in a void left by the lack of drill results going into the new year. "'Assays pending' has become one of the least popular phrases around the industry this year, given the painfully slow turnaround time at the labs," Tectonic Metals Inc. President and CEO Tony Reda penned in a year-end update on the Vancouver, British Columbia-ba...
HighGold Mining Inc. is rapidly unlocking the potential of Johnson Tract, a high-grade polymetallic gold project that exemplifies the exceptional mineral exploration opportunities Alaska has to offer. A parcel of land privately-owned by Cook Inlet Regional Inc., an Alaska Native regional corporation more commonly known as CIRI, Johnson Tract is a moderately advanced gold project that has flown under the radar for more than two decades. By the 1990s, exploration by Anaconda...
HighGold Mining Inc. Dec. 2 reported that its first pass drilling at Difficult Creek is beginning to outline the potential for this prospect area on its Johnson Tract property in Alaska to host a large high-grade polymetallic gold system similar to the JT deposit about 2.5 miles (four kilometers) to the southwest. According to an early 2020 calculation, the JT deposit hosts 2.14 million metric tons of indicated resource averaging 6.07 grams per metric ton (417,000 ounces)...
HighGold Mining Inc. Oct. 13 reported a long intercept of high-grade gold in an infill hole drilled to collect material for phase I metallurgical work and to provide better definition of the deeper, higher-grade portion of the JT deposit on the company's Johnson Tract project in Alaska. According to a calculation completed prior to the start of 2020 drilling, the JT deposit hosts 2.14 million metric tons of indicated resource averaging 6.07 grams per metric ton (417,000 ounces...
HighGold Mining Inc. Oct. 6 reported a 6.4-meter-wide intercept of bonanza grade gold and silver in the first hole it has ever drilled at Difficult Creek, an exploration target about 2.5 miles (four kilometers) northeast of the JT deposit on the company's Johnson Tract project in Alaska. According to an early 2020 calculation the JT deposit hosts 2.14 million metric tons of indicated resource averaging 6.07 grams per metric ton (417,000 ounces) gold, 5.8 g/t (397,000 oz)...
