Ten years ago, Yukon Territory witnessed a minor stampede of mineral explorers, hoping to cash in on new gold discoveries in the White Gold District south of Dawson City. A decade later, gold hunters are again targeting prospects across the northern Canadian territory, drawn by the recent successful startup of a new gold mine at Victoria Gold Corp.'s Dublin Gulch Property east of Dawson City in central Yukon as well as discoveries of other rich aurum deposits in Yukon....

The target concept for 3 Aces is consistent with some of the largest and richest gold districts in the world, including the California...
Golden Predator Mining Corp. March 11 said drilling continues to merge what was previously interpreted to be a series of smaller pods of gold mineralization along the Reserve trend at Brewery Creek into a continuous zone that has now been traced for roughly 3,100 meters across this mine project about a 45-minute drive from Dawson City, Yukon. Viceroy Resource Corp. established a mine at Brewery Creek in 1996 and recovered around 280,000 ounces of gold from the open-pit,...
Golden Predator Mining Corp. has been testing EnviroLeach Technologies Inc.'s non-cyanide and environmentally friendly way to recover gold from concentrates produced from gravity separation at its 3 Aces project in eastern Yukon.

Golden Predator Mining Corp. Jan. 20 said its 2019 drilling has confirmed a 2,800-meter continuous trend of gold mineralization at its Brewery Creek Mine project about a 45-minute drive from Dawson City, Yukon. Previous modelling had suggested that the Fosters, Kokanee and Golden resource areas were discrete deposits within the larger Reserve trend at Brewery Creek. Results from Golden Predator's 2019 drill program and recent remodeling suggest that these previously separate...

Yukon Territory, a mineral exploration frontrunner in Canada's North, is witnessing a significant slowdown in 2019. As a result, growth in Yukon's economy is expected to slow this year but rebound in 2020, according to The Conference Board of Canada. In its "Territorial Outlook Economic Forecast: Summer 2019," released in June, the board said new mines coming online in 2020 will drive Yukon's growth in the near future. Several factors, however, have converged to put the...

Though mineral exploration in Yukon Territory this year lagged the pace seen in 2018, mine development projects advanced at a steady clip in 2019, while several past-producing mines moved toward resuming output. Yukon ranked fourth in Canada for projected spending on mineral exploration and deposit evaluation for 2018, according to statistics distributed by Natural Resources Canada. Spending for mineral exploration and deposit evaluations totaled C$249.4 million, made up of C$...
Aben Resources Ltd. had drills turning on two gold-rich properties during 2019 – Justin in southeastern Yukon and Forrest Kerr in the Golden Triangle region of British Columbia. While Justin is the most northerly of the two projects, the terrain there provides for earlier access, making this property adjacent to Golden Predator Mining Corp.'s 3 Aces project the first target for exploration this year. The 2019 program at Justin included drilling, prospecting, geologic m...
