Yukon

Yukon ranks 10th most prospective for mineral potential across global jurisdictions, according to the Fraser Institute's 2023 Survey of Mining Companies, and is host to a highly experienced and conscientious local work force, fostered by a long culture of exploration coupled with deep respect for the land. Recent major discoveries with local roots such as Snowline Gold's Rogue project -- Valley discovery, demonstrate the Yukon's potential to generate fresh district-scale mining opportunities.
