Yukon Metals Hits 11.7 g/t Gold in First Drill Program, Expands Star River Property
Event summary
- Yukon Metals intersected 11.7 g/t gold within an extensive vein system at its Star River property in the southern Yukon.
- The 2025 drill campaign confirmed a 1-kilometre-long structural mineralized corridor containing multiple exploration targets.
- The company acquired 2 kilometres of additional prospective ground along the same structural corridor with the Stump property addition.
- Polymetallic mineralization was intersected, including up to 183 g/t silver, 10.6% lead, and 3% zinc.
The big picture
Yukon Metals' successful first drill program at the Star River property highlights the potential for a district-scale polymetallic vein system in the Ketza district. The acquisition of additional claims along the same structural corridor positions the company to capitalize on the growing interest in high-grade mineral deposits in the Yukon. The region's recent major discoveries, such as Snowline Gold Corp.'s Rogue Project, underscore the Yukon's potential to generate fresh district-scale mining opportunities.
