About the Atlin Goldfields Project

The Atlin Goldfields region has been a source of active placer production for the last 125 years, with gold production continuing to this day. The 578.9 km2 land package underlies the majority of the Atlin placer gold producing creeks including Spruce Creek, which is the source of Canada’s largest gold nugget, weighing 85 oz Au. The Atlin Goldfields Project is an orogenic and an intrusion-related gold property with several promising targets that have been outlined by geology, soil and rock sampling, geophysics and diamond drilling. Previous exploration has focused on gold hosted within the mafic and ultramafic rocks of the Cache Creek Complex, including drilling at the Yellowjacket Target which intersected 95.1 g/t Au over 32.84m. The Yellowjacket Target is a permitted 200 ton/day mine, currently in care and maintenance, located along placer producing Pine Creek. Approximately 1,000 oz Au were produced from the Yellowjacket Mine from 2007-2010, including a 2,880 tonne bulk sample that recovered 599 oz Au, grading 6.5 g/t Au. Recent studies indicate that the origin of the Atlin placer gold is not limited to the ultramafic rocks but also includes veins hosted within sedimentary rocks and within the Surprise Lake Batholith.
