Brewery Creek, an ex-heap leach project, spans 181 square kilometers in northwestern Yukon. Positioned about 55 kilometers east of Dawson City and roughly 120 kilometers west of Victoria’s Eagle Gold Mine. In 2023, Victoria Gold acquired the project, leveraging their track record in exploration, permitting, development, and operations in Yukon to enhance the project's value. Brewery Creek has NI 43-101 Measured, Indicated, and Inferred Mineral Resources, totaling 34.5 million tonnes at 1.03 g/t (1.14 million ounces of gold) in Measured and Indicated categories, and 35.9 million tonnes at 0.88 g/t (1.02 million ounces of gold) in the Inferred category.
The Brewery Creek property, located in the Tintina Trench, features poly-deformed Selwyn Basin rocks imbricated by Jura-Cretaceous thrusts. Cretaceous Tombstone Plutonic Suite intrusions, primarily monzonites, host gold mineralization with characteristics of both epithermal and intrusive-related systems. Altered intrusive rocks are the main host, and gold mineralization is associated with post-Tombstone age compressional events. Sill emplacement is controlled by thrust faulting along the contact between Earn and Road River Groups. The property exhibits coeval granitic rocks, similar to those in other Yukon gold deposits.

Size: 1 Moz Au @ 1.67 g/t (Inferred)
The Raven target, situated at the southern end of the Nugget Stock, lies within the Earn Group and Keno Hill Quartzite, displaying signs of greenschist facies metamorphism and structural deformation. Its discovery in 2018, marked by coincident arsenic, bismuth, and gold anomalies in soil samples, led to trenching that unveiled significant mineralization, including a notable 3.51 g/t gold over 124 meters. Subsequent drilling from 2018 to 2022 revealed consistent, high-grade gold intersections with visible gold occurrences, expanding the mineralized corridor from the initial trenches to 1.2 kilometers. The polymetallic veins, dominated by arsenopyrite, exhibit consistent characteristics, featuring steep to moderate dips and an east-west orientation, open along strike and down dip. Multiple phases of mineralization suggest Raven's potential to host a substantial gold deposit. Victoria's exploration plan aims to assess the entire Nugget Stock for Eagle-style deposits while further expanding Raven's high-grade footprint. Comprehensive efforts, including 6,407 soils, 8,225m of trenching, and 56,174.62m of diamond drilling across 205 holes, have been employed to define the Raven Zone.

Silver North Resources Ltd - Haldane
Ticker: TSX.V: SNAG
Category: Ag
Stage: Exploration
The Haldane property is an under-explored high-grade silver property in a historic silver mining region in Yukon Territory known as the Keno Hill Silver District. Upon acquisition of the property in 2018, Silver North conducted a systematic evaluation of the entire property, including the Mt. Haldane Vein System (MHVS) area. Silver North is currently focused on three areas, the West Fault and Middlecoff Zones (within the MHVS) and the Bighorn target located 3 km northwest of the MHVS. In addition, many early stage targets exist that have yet to receive systematic follow up to advance them to the drilling stage.
The West Fault discovery in 2020 consisted of the intersection of a wide zone of silver mineralization averaging 311 g/t silver over 8.72 metres in hole HLD20-19. This drilling targeted the downdip and on-strike extension of 320 g/t silver over 1.2 metres from drilling in 2011 by a previous operator. This hole was never followed up prior to the 2020 program and was originally collared to test mineralization on the Main Fault, a parallel fault hosting two silver-lead occurrences on surface. The wide intersection of +300 g/t silver mineralization exemplified the potential of the Haldane Project to host silver vein deposits of the size and grade seen elsewhere in the Keno Hill District. Follow up drilling continued to intersect mineralization in excess of 300 g/t silver over multi-metre widths and has now been identified the West Fault structure and associated mineralization over 100 metres of strike length and 90 metres of down dip extent.
