Yukon Metals Corp (OTCQB: YMMCF) has unveiled its comprehensive exploration program for 2025 at the 7,000-hectare Birch Property, strategically located 65km northeast of Burwash Landing, Yukon. The initiative will feature a 3,000-meter diamond drilling campaign aimed at leveraging the property's high-grade copper-gold skarn deposits. Previous rock-chip samples from the area have impressively revealed concentrations of up to 14.1 g/t gold and 2.42% copper.
Building upon the encouraging results from 2024, which included gold-in-soil values reaching up to 0.99 g/t over a 1,400-meter stretch, the 2025 program is set to expand its reach through regional soil sampling and alteration mapping. These efforts will assess the northern and eastern extensions of anomalies discovered in 2024, focusing on the porphyry potential. Additionally, Yukon Metals intends to investigate a significant molybdenum-in-soil anomaly identified in the southern part of the property.
For the execution of this program, Yukon Metals has partnered with local contractors, emphasizing collaboration with the community. Notable contractors include New Age Drilling, Vision Quest Drilling, a Kluane First Nations citizen-owned company, and Käganì, which will provide camp support services.
Rory Quinn, President & CEO, stated, “Our 2025 exploration plans at Birch showcase our commitment to responsible exploration and building meaningful partnerships. We look forward to sharing the progress as the season unfolds.”
The Birch Property's exploration is supported by historical data and recent findings, positioning it as a promising asset within Yukon Metals' portfolio. The company's approach aligns with a broader strategy emphasizing sustainable growth and shared prosperity with local communities.
