Thanks to one junior's report of encountering substantial gold mineralization this season near the old Red Cliff Mine in Northwest British Columbia's Stewart Mining District, a gaggle of excited juniors are grabbing up mineral claims and leases in the area. The small but growing stampede to Stewart surfaced in September after Decade Resources Inc. released assay results from the first few holes drilled in its 2009 exploration program. Vancouver, B.C.-based Decade reported intersecting 28.4 meters grading 7.3 grams per metric...
A gold mining group looking north from Nevada where it has been focused in recent years is seeing what many other explorers have noticed before them - the Tintina Gold Belt that stretches across Interior Alaska and Yukon Territory offers the handsome prospect of a major gold discovery. But the difference for Golden Predator Royalty & Development Corp. is that it is prepared to back up its conclusions with the hard work and financial capital necessary to not only find the gold but bring it into production in short order....
If it were entirely up to Copper Ridge Explorations Inc., the project generator would explore most of its mineral properties in Yukon Territory, northern British Columbia and Alaska this summer. But tough economic times have forced the Vancouver, B.C.-based junior to pick and choose among its 12 key projects, betting precious dollars on a handful of ideas that could pay off with additional exploration by catching the eye of future partners or investors.

The Northwest Transmission Line along Highway 37 is once again on the front burner in British Columbia, and development of the 517-kilometer-long, or 321-mile-long, power line could provide easier access to Lower 48 markets for power generated in Alaska. British Columbia has resumed the environmental assessment process and First Nations consultation required for the project, following an announcement by the Canadian province's Premier Gordon Campbell Sept. 26 that the power project was back on track. The B.C. government...
Seven months after putting the Nixon Fork Mine on the block, St Andrew Goldfields Ltd., an Ontario-based exploration and mining company, may be weighing competing purchase offers for the property. Potential purchasers have expressed interest in the project, according to Mining News sources. But St Andrew has signed no agreement so far to sell the asset. Located in the Interior near McGrath, the Nixon Fork Mine came on line in January 2007. During nine months of production...
An initial investment of $10 in a gold-silver property by Vancouver-based Rimfire Minerals might pay off handsomely in the long term. Rimfire purchased the Tide property in British Columbia from Newmont Exploration in 2001 for that nominal fee, and last year partnered with another Vancouver company, Serengeti Resources, to push forward a drilling and fieldwork program. Serengeti is earning a 51 percent interest in Tide by spending C$1.4 million on exploration. The results so far have been very promising. High-grade gold and...
