Multiple Mineralized Skarn Horizons Intersected at the Birch Copper-Gold Project

Core Insights - Yukon Metals Corp. is advancing its exploration activities at the Birch Property, which spans 7,000 hectares and is located in Yukon, Canada. The ongoing drill program aims to explore a 1.4-kilometre-long gold and copper anomaly, with initial results indicating significant mineralization potential [1][3][4]. Exploration Activities - The 2025 drill program has successfully intersected multiple zones of mineralization, suggesting both scale and continuity within the Birch system. The program has encountered retrograde skarn mineralization and various rock types, including marble and intrusive dykes [5][15]. - A total of 1,100 metres of diamond drilling has been completed across three pad locations, with all holes intersecting mineralized skarn horizons. The mineralized zones range in thickness from 0.2 to 46 metres [7][14]. Drill Hole Results - The initial three drill holes (BR25-001, BR25-002, and BR25-003) have shown promising results, with mineralization starting at depths as shallow as 25 metres. Notably, hole BR25-001 intersected a significant skarn horizon with chalcopyrite and pyrrhotite [6][8][12]. - Hole BR25-002 revealed mineralization associated with intrusive contacts, while hole BR25-003 encountered a continuous interval of intensely skarn-altered rock [12][14]. Geological Context - The Birch project is situated within the Finlayson assemblage of the Yukon-Tanana Terrane, characterized by schists, marble, and various intrusive rocks. The geological setting is conducive to the development of a large, multistage skarn system [20][21]. Company Overview - Yukon Metals Corp. is a well-financed exploration company with a portfolio of 17 projects covering over 43,000 hectares. The company focuses on advancing high-priority drill targets and conducting generative exploration to identify new discovery opportunities [22][23].
